The Angel’s Question September 28-30, 2026 Parcevall Hall, Yorkshire Dales, UK
‘Where have you come from and where are you going?’ This timeless question posed by an Angel in the Hebrew scriptures, forms the backdrop for the retreat. Guided by compassion and curiosity we will reflect on our life journeys to date and consider who we are becoming. We will look at how we navigate life transitions both small and great, consider what might be the obstacles (both within and beyond) that can hold us back and discover some practical tools to help us move forward.
This retreat is for anyone who may be feeling ‘stuck’ and is looking for help in discerning their next steps and then finding the courage to take them!

Bright Field, Dark Silence: exploring the poetry of R S Thomas July 12-14, 2027
Parcevall Hall, Yorkshire Dales, UK
Together we consider the elusive presence of the Divine, encountered in absence, silence, and longing. Like Thomas’s poems, the retreat invites participants to sit with that tension - discovering that what feels like distance or delay may itself be the place where a deeper, more authentic faith begins to take shape.
