If getting away from home to go on retreat is not easy for whatever reason, why not take part in an online individually guided retreat at home or in a place of your choice? This retreat will offer you an opportunity to spend more time with God. It may help you to take stock of your life, help you make a significant decision perhaps or to simply align your life more closely with God’s purposes.

This retreat invites you to clear space in your day for prayer. To make this a real retreat at home, we would suggest you dedicate 4-5 hours each day. Even if the retreat is online this might mean taking some time off work. Why? Because we know it can take some time for you to listen more closely to how God is speaking into your life. If this sounds a bit alarming, don’t worry! Our retreat guides are there to listen to you and guide you in the process.

How it works

You will meet with an experienced retreat guide once a day online for 45 minutes at a mutually agreed time. Your retreat guide will offer you scripture to pray with and prayer exercises, but most of all they will listen to you and help the retreat to go in the direction you – and God – need it to.

There will be an Opening & Closing Meeting with others on the retreat. Knowing that others are on a similar journey can be a great support and source of encouragement.

The whole week felt like a perfect Sabbath rest. The Sabbath being created for us to be filled up to go out into the world - a perfect retreat - even though I was still at home and being mum and wife!
