Come to one of our events at Shallowford!
Led by Rev Evelyn Bone, guests are gently guided through a reflective day of devotion, quiet time and worship in the peaceful surroundings of Shallowford House.
Quiet Mondays offer space to step away from the busyness of everyday life and enter a slower rhythm of prayer and stillness. Participants are invited to spend time with God in ways that feel natural and life-giving.
During the day there is also the opportunity to meet for one-to-one spiritual direction. Alongside this, a number of prayerful and contemplative activities are available to help deepen reflection and encourage attentiveness to God’s presence.
Whether you come seeking clarity, rest, prayer or simply a moment of spiritual pause, Quiet Mondays provide a welcoming space for reflection and renewal.
This retreat day in preparation for Holy week and Easter will exploring the tradition of the cross as a tree (Acts 5.30, 1 Peter 2:24).
Reflecting on the crucifixion as a life-giving act for all of creation, we will explore the cycle of death and rebirth in nature and the extraordinary event of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection.
The day will offer space to engage with these themes at the heart of our faith and how they connect us to God, nature and one another.
Throughout the year, our Garden Working Party brings together volunteers who share a heart for service, community, and the care of God’s creation. These days are a simple but meaningful way to contribute to the life of Shallowford House, helping to nurture the grounds that so many guests come here to enjoy.
Whether tending flowerbeds, clearing pathways, planting, pruning, or simply lending a helping hand, every task plays a part in maintaining this peaceful place of welcome and retreat. No specialist gardening experience is required – just a willingness to join in and share in the work together.
The Garden Working Party is a wonderful opportunity to build friendships, share conversation, and spend time in the quiet beauty of the Shallowford landscape.
