Springs of Renewal: Walking into God’s New Thing
Spring is a season of both rebirth and new birth. A season when plant life bursts forth through the earth, animals seek their mates for procreation and birds prepare their nests. Everything quite literally 'springs' to life. Flowers begin to bloom and the snows thaw and melt away. Things are new and fresh, days are becoming warmer, but it can still be a little wet and windy. In life, a spring season might represent new things, growth and development.
A time to thank God for new life and to seek Him for the new thing. What might the Lord be birthing in you and through you at this time? Is there something that's been lying dormant in you, that He now wants to bring out into the open?
Can you smell the freshness of new adventures as the last season melts away?
An Art SOZO will be included on this retreat

Living in Resurrection Life
Living in Resurrection Life is a retreat designed to remind us that Christ’s victory over death changes everything. This retreat offers a space to slow down, step away from the noise, and allow God to breathe new life into weary places.
It’s about living with hope when life feels uncertain, finding joy even in the ordinary, and leaning into the freedom He’s won for us. Come away, be still, and let His resurrection power renew your heart.
Through prayer, led devotionals, and quiet reflection, you’ll explore how the power of the risen Christ transforms everyday living—bringing hope, courage, and a deeper sense of peace.
An Art SOZO will be included on this retreat

In Full Bloom: Growing in God’s Grace
Summer is a season full of life and promise, bright and colourful, with everything in full bloom. Things birthed in the spring begin to grow and mature. Warmth and abundance abound and life flourishes and the animals thrive. It's also a season for planting and sowing seeds. There are still a few winds about to scatter those wild seeds too. In life, a summer season might represent a time of blessing and provision, when everything feels joyful and we have an abundance to share with others.
A time to thank God for His abundant blessings that He lavishes upon us. His mercy and grace abound! How might He bring you to maturity? Where will the Lord have you plant? What will it be - will you sow something quite specific or perhaps widespread?
Can you feel His face shining upon you?
An Art SOZO will be included on this retreat

Reflections: Seeing Ourselves Through God's Eyes
This retreat invites you to explore the many facets of 'reflections' in our Christian walk. Together, we'll reflect on God's Word, allowing it to shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. We'll look at how life’s experiences, relationships, and taking quiet moments reveal deeper truths, offering opportunities for personal growth, healing, and renewal.
Through stillness and contemplation, we’ll listen for God's voice, and consider how we reflect His love and grace in our daily lives. Whether seeking clarity or simply a fresh perspective, this time is set aside for you to connect deeply with Him.
An Art SOZO is included on this retreat

You Are Not Defined By Your Past
Experience the freedom in breaking free from the hold of your past and moving into a hopeful future! A retreat based upon the rich truths in the story of Tamar and Judah. Tamar was a woman who knew who she was, what was rightfully hers and how to take hold of it...even if it was in a rather unconventional way!
On all our themed retreats, you'll have plenty of time to reflect and pray over the truths we share each morning, go out walking in the beautiful countryside, or just relax in your room, our quiet spaces and gardens.
An Art SOZO is included on this Retreat.

Seasonal Retreat: Autumn; Embracing Change
Our seasonally-themed retreats are themed around one of the four ‘seasons’. The seasons in nature, seasons with God and the seasons in life.
Seasons can all vary dramatically in nature, with God and in general life, but the Lord is in them all. Seasons in life can be times of abundant blessings and provision, great trials and loss, restoration and recuperation or change and growth.
Autumn is a season of harvest and provision. Farmers gather their abundant harvest of fruits, nuts and grain into their storehouses and the animals begin to gather up food in preparation for winter. There is still a bright and crisp day here and there, but days are becoming more wet, grey and foggy. Colours become deeper and richer all around as the trees yield their leaves in readiness for winter’s rest. In life, an autumn season might represent reaping from our labour, provision and preparation for change.
A time for thanking God for His provision and asking what He might want to prepare in you for the next season. Are you ready to yield yourself to Him? Are there things that might need to die back and fall away?
Can you hear the rustling of preparation for that which will be deeper and richer than ever before?
20 to 23 October 2026
Advent: A Time of Expectant Hope
As we enter the Advent season, this retreat offers a peaceful space to pause and reflect on the anticipation of Christ’s coming. It’s a chance to step away from the busyness of life and embrace the quiet expectation of hope, love, joy, and peace.
Through gentle reflection, prayer, and stillness, we will prepare our hearts for the true meaning of Christmas, focusing on the promise of the hope to come.
Join us as we journey together, looking forward with hope and welcoming the light of Christ into our lives anew.
A Christingle Service will be included on this retreat.
