  • Textiles Retreat: God Is Revealed – Through Strangers, Signs, and Sacraments ***FULLY BOOKED***

    Join us at Launde Abbey for a creative and reflective retreat exploring the theme of God revealed – through strangers, signs, and sacraments. Together we’ll reflect on the season of Epiphany, finishing with the Presentation of Christ in the Temple. Our stitching will take inspiration from these ideas – perhaps stars, water, wine or camels.

  • Women in the Bible

    Bishop Graham Kings will guide us in an interactive, prayerful exploration of seven beautiful paintings of biblical women by Bulgarian icon writer Silvia Dimitrova. Through his poetry, biblical commentary, and music composed by Tristan Latchford, we’ll reflect on Sarah, Miriam, Ruth, Esther, Magdalene, Lydia, and Priscilla, with space for our own prayer and creativity.

  • An Advent Week with the Launde Abbey Community: A Season Of Longing And Waiting

    We invite you to join the Abbey Community at the start of this Advent. Come as a resident or day guest and shape the retreat as suits you. Those journeying together for any part of this week will be provided with daily reflection themes and readings for this season of longing and waiting as well as there being a range of optional bookable activities to choose from. We invite you to come at your own pace.

  • The Space: A Creative Retreat

    Music has a unique power to communicate meaning and insight in ways that words alone often cannot. As people of faith, we recognize music as a precious gift from God, given to enrich our lives and awaken our spirits. Led by Epiphany's Musicians, this retreat will include times of relaxing, improvised music with the opportunity to have a Sound Portrait and to engage with art workshops to tap into the creativity which has been inbuilt into all of us.
