Our vision
To provide a space where people are prompted to think more deeply about their relationship with God – a place for reflection, rest and spiritual renewal.
Our mission
- We have an ecumenical outlook and encourage Christians from all denominational backgrounds and those who have no church connection to participate in our activities.
- We invite people towards a deeper awareness of God’s presence in everyday life.
- We offer a place for people to explore contemplative practices and spiritual disciplines as a pathway to enrich their own life with God.
- We encourage and engage with people who are seeking to deepen their relationship with God or exploring Christian spirituality.
- We support pastors and missionaries in their service.
Our goals
- To offer spiritual retreats for men and women from any denominational background.
- To host workshops and events that stimulate people’s thinking and engagement with the Divine.
- To facilitate groups with a contemplative prayer focus.
- To provide pastors (and their families) with a quiet place to stay when they need some time away.
- To offer accommodation and support to missionaries (and their families) as they return from overseas or take a break from service.
