Journey into Healing
21st March 2026

£90
The Purpose – of the workshop is to be open to ourselves, to each other and to God for growth and healing.
Who is it for? – it is suitable for all who are looking for growth and insight in their relationships or in their inner, emotional or spiritual lives. It is not a requirement that group members be professing Christians, but this is the context in which the groups run.
I’m going out to clean the pasture spring: I’ll only stop to rake leaves away (and wait to watch the water clear, I may): I sha’nt be gone long. – You come too.
In just a few lines Robert Frost has captured the essence of a Journey into Healing workshop. Participants are invited to visit the spring in their lives; to gather leaves that may have accumulated; to find some means to remove the blockage; and to do it together in a group setting. We will invite you to do your work and come together to finish it.
The day is from 9.30 to 4.45 including coffee and lunch. This can include an overnight stay if booked, seperately in advance. It takes place in a rural setting where people are given time to enjoy the beauty of their surroundings and enjoy the quieter space and pace.
Journey into Healing invites you to take part in a person centered day of active group work at The Bield, where you will spend the day using a mixture of therapeutic techniques and spaces for reflection.
