We have a number of daytime retreats this autumn with various themes, led by the Sisters. In between addresses you can find a comfortable place to sit and be in the house or garden.
Each retreat concludes with a short time of worship.
Refreshments are available throughout the retreat for you to help yourselves.
Places are limited per session, so please book in advance.
There is no charge but donations are accepted.

Margery Kempe
Margery is one of Norfolk’s medieval mystics, born in the 15th century in King’s Lynn. The ‘Book of Margery Kempe’ is widely known as the first English autobiography. Margery recorded her visit to Julian of Norwich’s cell whereby she sought spiritual counsel. She is also known for sobbing uncontrollably and for travelling around the world on spiritual pilgrimages.
