Programme 2024
If you would like to come and stay at the Coach House this is what we have available in 2024.
We are sorry it is not possible to accommodate guests at other times.
We are undertaking a period of discernment around the day to day running of the Coach House, alongside a large landscaping project for the grounds.
If you are a teacher then you can take advantage of a Teacher's Bursary to help towards costs, find out more here.

November 22nd to 26th: Margaret Silf: Discovering your wisdom years
Our later years challenge us to learn the art of slowing down, letting go and facing our own mortality, but they also surprise us with joy as our perspective changes. We glimpse more clearly the possibilities that the longer view reveals. We discover unexpected gifts that winter brings. Just as we feel we are winding down, we find ourselves called to wake up and embrace the most fulfilling challenge of all – to mature inwardly into our wisdom years. Join us to explore and celebrate the promise at the heart of your own wisdom years.
December 6th to 8th: HerAgeing retreat with Valerie Allen
