How to create your retreat
Start by choosing a date that works for you, allowing enough space to fully step away from daily routines and enter into a slower, more reflective rhythm.
Once you have a date in mind, please email the project lead,
Rach Bright, at wowadmin@churchinwales.org.uk
to check availability and confirm arrangements.
As you begin shaping your retreat, take time to consider which of the three pathways you would like to explore. Each pathway offers a different way of engaging with wellbeing, creativity, spirituality, and nature, so choose the ones that resonates most with where you are right now. You may prefer to focus deeply on one pathway or gently weave elements from more than one.
You will also want to decide how you would like your retreat to be supported. Some people value having parts of their time facilitated, with gentle guidance, reflective prompts, or creative activities offered. Others prefer a more self-led experience, moving at their own pace and following their own reflections. You may wish to choose a blend of both, creating a retreat that feels personal, restful, and meaningful for you.
