Beginners Retreat

Are you someone who has been away on a parish weekend, perhaps been to a quiet day or two, but never experienced a residential retreat? Are you unsure how you might cope with a retreat, what you might do with your time, or whether you can cope with the silence? Then this is the retreat for you!

The aim of this semi-silent retreat weekend is to help you enter the world of silent retreats gently and with plenty of support. There will be guidance on how to use the time; periods on your own and with the other retreatants, and the opportunity to share your experience with others if you wish to do so. During your stay at Launde Abbey, you can join in with the community’s rhythm of prayer and worship; walk, paint, potter or simply rest, as the Spirit takes you.

This retreat will be led by members of the Launde Abbey Community.
