“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. ..Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.”
Jesus of Nazareth AD 30
If these words resonate with you, come aside for a time of rest, meditation and creativity. Come and experience a space where you can give yourself time to just ‘be’ in the present, quiet the internal chatter and experience God’s peace and rest.
Holy Spirit Spa Day
Every few months I offer a mini online retreat, on two alternative dates: a ‘Holy Spirit Spa’ with times of guided prayer and meditation using some long established approaches to contemplative prayer which have been practiced for millenia. These approaches help us connect to and directly experience the love of God in the here and now. Silence and space and slowness is greatly valued - the central part of the day is an extended time for you to just ‘be’ with your loving God, giving your undivided love and attention. You may want to take a walk, spend time journaling or get creative with paint and paper. I provide a retreat guide with suggested exercises, but the time is yours.
Next Retreat
Title: The Feeding of the Five Thousand
Theme: We will be meditating on this familiar gospel story in Matthew 14. As we journey through life we will inevitably encounter times where we feel depleted, ‘less than’, having little to give in the face of what is being asked. Come aside for a few hours and, as we revisit this story, respond to Jesus’ promise of multiplied resources in exchange for our lack. He can do infinitely more than we can ask for or even imagine…
Date & Time: Fri 26th Sep or Sat 4th Oct 2025 all at 10am - 2pm BST via Zoom
Cost: £25 (£40 for couples)

Testimonials
“I felt reconnected with God …. I was back on the right path. I loved how the meditation enabled me to put myself in the story and apply it to my own life.”
Megan, Teacher
“I absolutely LOVED the whole experience and have been recommending it to everyone I have spoken to since! I felt refreshed and lighter and more hopeful and joyful and connected to Papa after the day….. I especially enjoyed the guided meditation, and was amazed how much God showed me through it, and then helped me experience too as I went on a rainy walk with Him during the alone-with -Him time.’
Anne, Nurse
“What struck me is just how saturated the day felt in 'presence'. And what an amazing example you are of 'hosting the presence' in a very beautiful way. I came unsure but you imparted such expectation and faith that God was right here in the room with me. It was as powerful an experience of His presence that I have enjoyed in any 'in person' gathering I have ever been to.”
SC, N Kent
“It was such a pleasure to join your Holy Spirit Spa Day. I am a natural sceptic and a purist when it comes to my faith, so when I saw words like "meditation" and "stillness", I was cautious, but I decided to give it a try. I am so pleased that my initial concerns had no merit. I had an amazing Spirit-filled and Spirit-led day. It can be a challenge to get rid of the to do lists, obligations and worries to just sit with God, but you led me there and allowed me to share true stillness with Jesus.. He shared so much with me in this time and gave me some real perspective and affirmation. Being able to spend unencumbered time with God as I did on the Spa Day was such a blessing and I really look forward to participating again.”
Alanna, SW London
“It was really special, I had an amazing encounter with Father God, which was just what I needed! I always feel rejuvenated after your Spa days, they give me a kick start. Thank you again for such a wonderful experience, looking forward to the next one already.....”
Hilary, N Kent
