Stillness and Stitching – A Day of Reflection and Creative Renewal. Step away from the busyness of everyday life and enter a gentle space of calm, creativity, and connection. Through guided meditation, quiet prayer, and mindful stitching, this workshop invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and rediscover balance. By the end of the day, you’ll leave feeling restored and centred carrying home not only a handmade piece, but a renewed sense of peace.

Join us for a day of Blessings, to give, to receive and to become. We explore blessings in our lives, creating personalised blessings to share with others.

Why silence?

Most people have a yearning for tranquillity and peace. By taking part in a silent retreat, you will have the opportunity to draw back from the normal routines and busyness of life to reflect and allow space for new encounters.

Step into a day of gentle reflection, prayer, and connection with God through nature, movement, and creative expression. This retreat at the Bield invites participants to slow down, notice creation, and explore personal renewal through quiet walks, swimming, art, and meditation. Guided by Cate, the day offers flexibility and support, giving space for both communal reflection and private contemplation, leaving participants refreshed, inspired, and grounded in peace.

Spend a creative day in remembrance of loved ones who have passed, through exploration of light, colour, and creativity. Using simple materials including inks, acrylics, watercolour, and collage, participants may create small artworks inspired by cherished objects. Gentle reflective exercises, personal creative time, and optional sharing provide a calm, supportive space to celebrate and remember. No previous artistic experience is required.

The Purpose of the workshop is to work within the context of personal growth. Having done the initial Enneagram groundwork and gone deeper, in this next workshop we seek to explore spiritual growth via upstream and downstream exercises. We then will be studying the concept of the Soul Child and delve into deeper waters of what we most judge.

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.

In a busy world, charity and love can be easily missed as we rush through our lives. God

may at times seem distant and far off within the demands of the day. This creative day is

aimed at stilling ourselves, giving %me to allow our being to recognise what is in and

around us.

“If you stand still for a few minutes in the relentless onward rush of 21st century life you might hear a quiet but insistent undercurrent. It is the cry of our hearts for space and time just to be, to listen to the heartbeat of creation, to let our souls catch up. Quiet gardens offer just such longed-for oases of peace. They open up once more what all our busy-ness has buried – the precious gift of heart-time and soul-space.”

Margaret Silf – patron of The Quiet Garden Movement
