We offer a variety of morning or afternoon retreats throughout the year on various biblical and Christian themes.
The retreats are led by the Sisters who offer reflections to guide you into short periods of silence where you can spend time in the house or garden.
There is no requirement to share anything with the group during your time of retreat. It is just a time for you to listen to addresses by the Sisters and enjoy some time of quiet reflection.
There is a maximum of 6 people per retreat session.
Refreshments are available throughout the retreat for you to help yourselves.
There is no charge, but donations are accepted.
