Textiles Retreat: THE HEART OF GOD
Join us at Launde Abbey for a creative and reflective Textiles Retreat. Led by Revd Claire Goode.
Into the Silent Land: Five-Day Meditation Retreat **FULLY BOOKED**
Into the Silent Land offers profound insights for the student of silent prayer but is especially intended for the non-specialist who feels drawn to discover the deep wisdom of the Christian contemplative tradition. This retreat will be led by Chris Whittington, founder of The School of Contemplative Life.
Textiles Retreat: WELCOME AND HOSPITALITY **2 SPACES ADDED**
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.
The Space: A Creative Retreat
Join Epiphany’s skilled team for a gently guided retreat at Launde Abbey, featuring relaxing improvised music, daily reflections, and creative opportunities. Enjoy the peaceful surroundings, take part in art workshops with Rhona Knight, experience a unique Sound Portrait, and connect through conversation. Guests are encouraged to bring musical instruments or art materials to explore and stretch their creativity.
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.
Adrift in Delight: A Contemplative Intensive
We’re offering this retreat at a reduced price due to short notice.
A quiet space has become available in the rhythm of life at Launde Abbey, and we felt called to offer a contemplative intensive retreat in this space — to provide those who practise contemplation the time and space to deepen their practise (whether centring prayer, Christian meditation, mindfulness or some other approach). We hope it will be a blessing to those who need time to rest, reflect, and be still with God.
Led by our Deputy Warden, Revd Chris Webb.

The Sound of Musings
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!
