Since our inception in 1954 we have offered nourishment for body, mind and soul in various ways. We now run courses, mostly at weekends, which focus on health, creativity, nonspecific spirituality, and also individual and group retreats. We also offer stays to groups or house hire to those who share our core values to provide rest and renewal. Individuals needing tranquillity in which to write, reflect, rest or just be, are welcome during the week. Healing is offered, but we are not able to support anyone with complex medical or emotional needs. Spiritual direction can be provided with advance notice. Currently closed for refurbishment, we reopen in the summer of 2016, with most of rooms being en-suite. Our ground floor rooms have disability including two en-suite wet rooms for wheelchair users.
