In today’s fast-paced society, finding time to sit and reflect on life, hear from God and to enjoy the abundance of His creation is becoming more and more difficult. With each increasing pressure, the time we spend with God, as well as time just for ourselves, is diminished. Yet, our human spirits yearn for these times of restoration; time to rest, time to pray, time to enjoy God’s Word, time just to ‘be’.
A Still Waters Retreat is the perfect antidote to life’s constant demands. There is no busy teaching schedule, only a gentle devotional over breakfast times and a short teaching by the fireside in the evenings.
Each week there will be a theme for the event with evening teaching sessions. Our course hosts will be available to chat with you during the week as well as ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible.
This Still Waters will be themed around the Lord’s Passover / Easter. Throughout the teaching sessions we will look at what it means that Jesus became our Passover Lamb. We will look into the significance of the Passover Feast and share a Passover Seder meal together, which will be a very rich, meaningful and joyous time of celebrating our Risen Lord!
During the day you are free to do whatever you want, whether it be a walk in the local countryside, spend time in our well-equipped creativity room, read or relax in the plush drawing room or travel further afield to explore more of the local area. This is your time and you choose how to spend it.
But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.
John 4:14, ESV
What better location for such an event than in the amazing beauty and peace of Blairmore House? With spacious and luxurious accommodation, nestled in a large woodland estate, surrounded by the stunning vista of the highlands of Scotland, Blairmore offers comfort, seclusion and creative inspiration for you to make the most of time just for you.
Registration begins at 4pm on the first day of the event followed by an evening meal at 6pm.
Departures are by 9.45am following breakfast on the final day.
On arrival you will be welcomed by our reception team! If you are staying overnight, you will be shown to your accommodation, given details about the event such as mealtimes or where the teaching sessions take place. Our team and event hosts will be around if you have any further questions after arriving, and to help you feel at home during your time on the event.
Yes, there will be free time! How much free time you get depends on the length of the event, but there will always be opportunity for you to take a walk in the beautiful grounds, to chat with other guests, or take some time to yourself. For longer events, there will be free days where you can explore the local area, or rest.
This is a totally understandable question! A majority of guests on our events come on their own, and don’t know anyone else, so you won’t be the only one! Occasionally, some of the guests may come together, but it doesn’t take long for people to start chatting over mealtimes or coffee breaks and get to know each other.
If the event you are on offers time for prayer ministry, then you will have the option to have time with our trained ministry team. This in an opportunity for you to share what you would like prayer for. Prayer ministry is always confidential, caring, and considerate. For further information on how we minister see our Best Ministry Practice.
Coming here has given me the peace and solitude I have needed to seek my Lord again and for Him to re-affirm my walk with Him. I am energised, renewed and ever hope filled!
It afforded me time alone to think, pray and be at peace.
