Welcome to the Bield at Blackruthven. If you'd like a place for rest and relaxation, or for prayer, reflection and healing, you'll find the Bield at Blackruthven an inviting setting.  The Bield at Blackruthven was set up in 1998 to be a centre for Christian Spirituality, retreat and healing in the widest sense of the word.  "Bield" is an old Scottish word, rich and resonant in meanings, from shelter to welcome, from refuge to strength.   Individuals or couples, families or groups are welcome for day visits or longer residential stays.

Retreats at the Bield


Taking time on retreat helps us realign our priorities and re-enter our world refreshed and better able to function.

 

Whether you come for just one day or for longer, come as you are - many of us have busy, stressful, lonely or complicated lives which may lead us to feeling God is distant or remote. At such times, our spiritual life can become routine or just seem like more hard work… and we find ourselves searching for ways of expressing more meaning in our life, of finding ways to live with depth and with integrity. Going on retreat can help us take time to explore.

There is something very special about this place - peacefulness, beautiful walks, time and space to just ‘be’.  Bless you all who make the Bield what it is – a place of refuge in a storm – Gail

There are no words to say what a blessing this haven is to those who believe and to those who don’t.  A little piece of heaven here on earth.  Thank you for sharing this amazing place of peace and playfulness

I have been so enriched by God at this beautiful place and with these beautiful people.  This is God’s haven and shelter for a weary soldier!  Blessings – Charles
