We welcome silent retreats (private or individually guided), quiet days (with a meeting with a sister if arranged in advance) and groups. Contact us if you are interested.
To help us all over the coming months and so everyone feels safe, we will continue to encourage the following hygiene measures here : frequent handwashing, use of hand sanitizers and face masks, distancing and ventilation.
We have also put together a programme for the end of the year, hoping that the situation will allow us to host it here in Lewisham. You will soon find more information.
We look forward to welcoming you !
(in line with government guidelines.)

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!
