Taking
time away from the busy routine to pray and consider what is
right for you can bring a clarity and renewed sense of purpose.
Our retreat guides are skilled in the art of discernment. You
will find that sharing issues with a neutral but sympathetic
listener often helps you to see things with a greater balance.
If you are new to taking a Christian faith seriously, or
wish make some space to see if God has anything to say to
you personally, then you will find this sort of Individually
Guided Retreat particularly helpful.
You will be given guidance in prayer and discernment.
Barmouth, on the mid-Wales coast is a tranquil setting for
an individually guided retreat. The house with the sea in
front and hills behind is in some of the most beautiful country
in all Wales.
The house itself is simple yet comfortable. Most of the bedrooms
have delightful views of the sea or the hills. There is a
chapel and a number of pleasant sitting rooms.
Within easy walking distance is a prayerful 12th Century Church
which is always open.
There will be delicious home cooking on this retreat. The
main meal is in the evening. For lunch there will be materials
for sandwiches or a salad.
The retreat will suite those who are young or at least fit
and active. To benefit from this retreat you will have to
be able to climb stairs as there are no ground floor bedrooms.
There are men's and women's communal washrooms.
The retreat begins with the evening meal at 7pm on the first
day and ends after breakfast on the morning last day.
Arrivals welcome from mid-afternoon onwards.
Unlike at St Beuno's, there are no Bibles available in rooms,
so we suggest that if you have one, you bring it along.
Inclusive cost of the 8 day retreat is £375
Inclusive cost of the 6 day retreat is £290
To book please sent a booking form and a non-returnable booking
fee of £75
* For students and people in their 20's and 30's we ask
for a deposit of £50 and the offering for the 6 day
retreat can be reduced to £170.
But please remember for all our retreats the 'offering' is
just that, if you honestly can't afford it, just let us know
how much you can afford. We do not wish people to be deprived
of the chance of a guided retreat for the lack of money.
