About The Retreat

Still Waters is an annual prayer retreat created to offer space away from the noise and pace of everyday life, allowing participants to rest, reflect, and draw closer to God in a peaceful natural environment.

This retreat is intentionally shaped around prayer, fasting, Scripture, silence, and nature, providing time to be still before God both individually and together.

It is designed for those seeking spiritual renewal, clarity, and deeper intimacy with God, whether you are well-established in faith or simply longing for quiet space to reconnect.

Retreat Rythm

Over the course of three days, the retreat will include:

  • Corporate prayer and worship
  • Bible reading and guided devotional moments
  • Quiet personal prayer and reflection
  • Extended quiet time
  • Individual or paired prayer walks in nature
  • Communal evening meals to break the fast. There will be a gentle rhythm to each day, with space to rest, listen, and respond to God without pressure.

Silence will be encouraged at certain times, but never forced.

Fasting

Participants are encouraged to begin fasting on the morning of Thursday 26 November, before travelling to the retreat.

The fast will be broken together each evening with a communal dinner. Breakfast and lunch will not be provided.

The majority of participants are encouraged to fast, however we recognise that fasting is not suitable for everyone. Participants who need to adapt their fast, or not fast at all, for health or personal reasons are fully supported.

Further guidance will be shared closer to the retreat date.

Location & Accommodation

The retreat will take place at a Christian retreat house in the countryside, offering:

  • Extensive gardens and natural surroundings
  • Woodland and riverside walks
  • Chapel and quiet prayer spaces
  • Shared accommodation (maximum 2 people per room)
  • A small number of single rooms (subject to availability)

The venue provides a peaceful, prayerful environment well suited to silence, reflection, and spiritual rest.

MOMENTS FROM STILL WATERS

Over a few days, we step away from the noise, slow down, with phones away and make space for God.
No pressure. No performance. Just presence.
Below are a few moments from our April Still Waters retreat.

Looking Ahead

New Wine 2027

Reset day 2027

Reset Day is a one-day retreat created for those needing space to pause, reflect, pray, and begin the year from a place of stillness rather than pressure.

The day will include quiet reflection, prayer, Scripture, guided stillness, personal reflection time, and community.
