Facilitated retreats offer a space for both learning and reflection, by focusing on a particular topic. Input will be provided by retreat leaders on a variety of themes, but there will also be plenty of time for retreatants to use the day in whatever way they would find most helpful.
Led retreats provide an opportunity to slow down and deepen our connection with ourselves and God, as we explore different ways of expressing our spirituality.
Please read the details provided about each of the led retreats, so you’ll know what to expect.

Quiet days give you an opportunity to step back from your busy life for a few hours and experience silence.
Themed quiet days at The Chicken House will be led by one of our team and will include some input to help guide your reflections.
You can also spend the whole day in silence enjoying the beautiful setting here on the small-holding.
Your lunch will be provided and tea and coffee and cake available throughout the day.

There are weekly and monthly gatherings that meet at the retreat house.
