Retreat-Holidays
Retreat-Holidays
Retreat-Holidays is an exciting venture offering revitalising breaks for tired Christians - and, indeed, for others who are searching. We are affiliated to the Retreat Association.
Retreat-holidays are genuinely both retreats and holidays, set in beautiful, peaceful surroundings which help you to unwind, still down and become aware of God's presence within and around you. They are suitable both for people who go on retreats regularly and for those who have never been on one before but are looking for a Christian holiday.
Retreat-Holidays make retreats a treat
and holidays holy!
As one of our clients put it:
"Retreat-Holidays... The integration of those two words was woven into an experience of deep delight and wonder."
Most of our retreat-holidays last a week. There is a short input session in the morning, giving you thoughts for the day and a Bible passage or two to mull over. The themes and texts relate in some way to our surroundings.
There is usually an excursion on three or four days of the week (sometimes more). Then, in the evening before dinner, we have half an hour together to reflect on the day and to pray together.
The What we offer page says more about what retreat-holidays are.
For details of our remaining departures for 2009, click on the locations in the menu. There is a brief summary of our 2010 retreat-holidays on the Departures page: we are gradually adding information to the site and aim to have full details up by the end of July 2009. While this updating is being carried out, you may find some non-functioning links and we apologise for this.

Paper brochure
If you prefer, a hard copy of the brochure is available from our office. If you let us have your address, we'll send you a copy or you can request a brochure by phone - call 01304 214789.
Accessibility
There is a note on the accessibility of each of our retreat-holidays at the bottom of the Dates, price and flights page for that location. We regret that we are unable to accept the responsibility of looking after people who know before they travel that they have serious problems of health or mobility.
If you give us your email address, we'll notify you when new retreats and retreat-holidays are added to the programme. If you give us your postal address, we'll also send you the annual brochure. And if you have any queries, give us a ring or email us. We're small enough to care!
Our retreat-holidays are primarily designed for people travelling from the UK and Ireland, but we are very happy to welcome English-speaking clients from other countries and to discuss with them the most convenient way for them to come and join us.
