Why silence?

Most people have a yearning for tranquillity and peace. By taking part in a silent retreat, you will have the opportunity to draw back from the normal routines and busyness of life to reflect and allow space for new encounters.

Wellness Days for NHS staff

Why not join others from the NHS and come and spend a day at the beautiful Bield to slow down, relax and unwind?

Holding Space

The practice of ‘Holding space’ refers to the act of being fully present. A conscious effort to maintain a safe accepting environment, free from distractions, where you can listen attentively to the other be that someone else or the still small voice of God.

“If you stand still for a few minutes in the relentless onward rush of 21st century life you might hear a quiet but insistent undercurrent. It is the cry of our hearts for space and time just to be, to listen to the heartbeat of creation, to let our souls catch up. Quiet gardens offer just such longed-for oases of peace. They open up once more what all our busy-ness has buried – the precious gift of heart-time and soul-space.”
