Seasons of the Soul: Outofthebox retreat

Event by Quiet Waters Christian Retreat House
Flixton Road, NR351PD Bungay, United Kingdom

Nov 20th 2pm – Nov 22nd 3pm

What to expect: To help us we will engage OutOfTheBox — a playful, imaginative way of exploring faith that opens space for creativity, curiosity, and fresh perspective. Through simple creative prompts, tactile materials, and unexpected pathways of reflection,
helps us notice what God is doing beneath the surface and invites us to meet our season with openness rather than assumption.
Life moves in seasons — growth and pruning, joy and ache, moving forward and waiting. This retreat invites you to step away from everyday life and gently explore the season you’re living in with God.
Through prayer, Scripture, silence, story, and shared reflection, we’ll pay attention to what is emerging, what is fading, and what the Spirit is quietly planting within us.
Whether you’re in a spring of new beginnings, a summer of abundance, an autumn of change, or a winter of stillness, this retreat offers space to breathe, listen, create, and be renewed. Together we’ll discover how God meets us in every season — not with pressure, but with presence; not with hurry, but with hope. Come as you are. Leave grounded, encouraged, and attuned to the gentle rhythms of grace.
Cost: £300.00 full-board to include all materials, refreshments & a two course home-cooked lunch - £75 as a day guest
To book: contact the QW office at [email protected] or 01986 893201
