Enjoy a week working in Launde Abbey's spectacular gardens and experience our hospitality and dining.

Creatively exploring and praying a journey through the Psalms using word, image, art, craft, music and the retreat house grounds and surrounds.

Ian Adams will open up ways to prepare ourselves for the possibilities of the Advent season, looking for the light within ourselves, in the world around us, and in the coming of the Christ-child.

Join experienced Iconographer Peter Murphy for a week learning the medieval gilding and painting techniques to create stunning icon paintings.

As our first Christmas since lockdown draws near we take the opportunity to gather together around the Bethlehem manger in a retreat led by the Warden of Launde Abbey.

In this darkest season of the year, we will reflect on the Light revealed both in these stories and in our stories, and explore what God’s Spirit might be saying to each of us through them as 2022 begins.

This retreat offers a time to ponder God’s love for us and for others and how we respond to that love. As we do this, there will be an opportunity to create a piece of sewing/patchwork/embroidery which reflects this.

For those of us who are weary or disorientated because of the experiences of recent months, this retreat offers the opportunity to come home, to come back to God who in Christ invites us to make our home in him.
