Our house is a small retreat centre in South-East London between Lewisham and Blackheath, with Greenwich close by. It provides a surprisingly quiet space for groups (up to 25 people) and individuals looking for a place of retreat, silence and rest. We also have an in-house programme consisting of different day/evening and residential events. Please take the time to explore our different possibilities!

The Retreat Association is a national ecumenical Christian organisation set up to help people find ways of exploring and deepening their journey with God through spirituality and prayer. The Retreat Association has commissioned an icon as an enduring reminder of the value of retreats and reflective prayer.
Icons have been used for centuries to depict Bible stories and offer a way of entering into the story through prayer, stillness and contemplation – practices that lie at the heart of our work.
The theme of our icon is The Woman at the Well (John 4:1–42). This has been chosen for its universal appeal and the
many different themes associated with retreat and spiritual direction.
The icon was hallowed at the Retreat Association Conference and is now on display at a number of different retreat centres, churches and cathedrals across the UK. For details of where the icon is on display, please see the Icon Events page.
We hope that the icon will become a resource for many who are both familiar and unfamiliar with retreats.

Ignatian Year
The Ignatian Year officially closed on the Feast of St Ignatius, 31 July 2022. 500 Years ago, Ignatius was residing in Manresa, begging for his living and to support the sick and the poor. He deepened his life of prayer and lived the most life changing experiences of God. He spent 11 months there, from 26 March 1522 to the beginning of Lent 1523. During this time, he kept some personal notes of the way God was leading him. He later used those notes to accompany others in the Spiritual Exercises.
