This Lent we invite you to join us as we explore Julian's desire to be near the cross, with Christ to hold the suffering of this world, and see it in some way transformed in us. A retreat led Gail and Ian Adams.
Christ welcomes us all. Using the sculpture of "The Welcoming Christ" in the Launde Abbey garden, we will explore what we understand by welcome, feeling welcomed and welcoming others. Guests may wish to use or take their own photos of the statue as an inspiration for stitching. Led by Revd Claire Goode.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, this retreat is now cancelled.
An alternative retreat will be available for these dates. If you are already booked onto Dust that Dreams of Glory, and wish to transfer your booking, please contact our reception team, who will be very happy to help you.
During our time together, we will learn more about the fascinating history of labyrinths, their symbolism, spirituality and the many ways in which they are being used today. We will walk the labyrinth (both indoors and outside in the garden) with different intentions each day, and enjoy the tranquillity of a candlelit labyrinth walk after dark. Led by Nickie Fidgin.
Join Epiphany’s skilled team for a gently guided retreat at Launde Abbey, featuring relaxing improvised music, daily reflections, and creative opportunities.

Guests are encouraged to bring musical instruments or art materials to explore and stretch their creativity.
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.

Spend an encouraging and inspiring retreat with Maria the ‘flibbertigibbet’ nun turned governess as she discovers the life she was born to live. Prompted by the songs, characters and stories from 'The Sound of Music', Bryony Wood will lead us on our own journey of faith – it will be biblical, authentic and quite a lot of fun. We will probably even make our own sounds of music too!
