If you have used our Online Advent Calendar, you may like to read our Echo-Board Poem.

As London is now in Tier 4 since Sunday 20^th December, our Welcome remains closed to all guests and visitors.

We hope to open again as soon as we can, once the Tier restrictions change for our area.

(in line with government guidelines.)

There are possibilities to make an on online retreat, with daily personal accompaniment, as a way to deepen your prayer life, step back during a period of change or before making decisions… Such a retreat can be made from home, if you feel you have enough space and quiet, or from another venue that you can find for the time of the retreat.

We can tailor something by arrangement, for instance offer 3-Day retreats with daily accompaniment, or 4-week retreats with weekly accompaniment, or a single day retreat.

Ongoing spiritual accompaniment is possible online. Likewise, ongoing individual supervision for those in the ministry of spiritual accompaniment is possible online only. Contact us.

We remain prayerful and hopeful with you and wish you all our very best during these times.

You are welcome to continue to send your prayer intentions to us.

Pre-programme for 2021

We live according to the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola:
To praise, serve and reverence God our Creator and serve God in the world.

Our house is a small retreat centre in South-East London between Lewisham and Blackheath, with Greenwich close nearby. 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!
