R5 Pre-Lent
Led by the Sheldon team
Space for you to read, retreat, rest, relax, recuperate. Altogether, space to Recharge in fact. We will keep you fed and watered with sociable mealtimes and provide all the regular resources of Sheldon like chapels (including daily liturgy), labyrinth, art shed and library. Sheldon also has lots of outdoor space to wander and enjoy, plus a variety of good spaces indoors (some silent, some social) with TV, jigsaws, etc.
Some massage sessions available (open to everyone), plus 1:1 sessions for people in ministry.
Artist in Residence (Charmaine Host) will be in the Art Shed each morning for anyone who wants to drop by and try out something new. Clare Callanan will facilitate a group labyrinth walk in the context of a labyrinth afternoon session. Both completely optional great additions to the week.
R5s are fantastic value at only £90 per night full board, en-suite and with the lovely extras outlined above. They are almost like mini-12,000-mile Service weeks but structured a little differently. Really, just the perfect opportunity to get away before the beginning of Lent.
