Christmas Celebration Retreat

This retreat is a truly Spiritual way to celebrate the inner beauty of Christmas. Following a meal served on arrival - giving time to get to know each other - this retreat is held in the silence, giving ample time for Meditation, thinking, relaxing and gentle walks. It is an opportunity to re-balance and get in touch with the Inner Self. Being in silence ends at breakfast on December 27th.

Coming on a Silent Retreat at the Centre is a special opportunity to connect with the Peace and spiritual joy of Christmas and to leave behind the material. This retreat is suitable for both first-time and experienced retreatants, with someone always on hand should you need anything.

The retreat begins with an introduction after arrival - a chance to ask any questions before we go into the silence - except for necessities.
