What is a Christian Retreat?
A Christian Retreat is a special time set apart for prayer, reflection and spiritual growth. It’s a chance to step away from the usual pace of life, creating space to quiet our hearts, and to draw closer to God.
At places like Foxhill, nestled within serene woodlands and beautiful lawns, retreats offer an opportunity to be immersed in a peaceful environment conducive to listening to God, reflecting on our lives, and renewing our sense of purpose and faith.
Why Go on a Christian Retreat?
Life can be full of distractions, stress and noise. Many of us struggle to find time for God amid the demands of work, family and social obligations. A Christian retreat offers the space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with our spiritual roots.
You might wonder if you need to ‘get away’ if your life isn’t particularly stressful or hectic?
The truth is retreats aren’t just for those needing a break from the busyness of life; they’re for anyone who desires to deepen their connection with God.
Whether you are seeking a space for personal reflection, renewal, or simply a more intentional time of prayer, a retreat can offer the perfect environment to focus entirely on God’s love and grace.
Foxhill, with its welcoming atmosphere and beautiful setting, provides a place where you can be still, listen, and grow closer to God in a way that fits your pace and needs.
How to Go on a Christian Retreat?
Retreats can vary in length from a few hours to a longer residential stay, and many offer different themes, such as contemplation, prayer, Bible study or creative expression.
During the retreat the key is to be open to God’s presence in each moment. The days can be as structured or as relaxed as you wish. Participate in group prayer or reflection, engage with others in shared spiritual conversation, or take time alone for personal meditation.
It’s okay to be still, listen, and allow God to speak to your heart.
And remember, there's no ‘right’ way to experience a retreat; it’s about giving yourself the gift of time and space to grow spiritually.

Why Go on a Silent Retreat?
Whilst many find silence peaceful, restful, and a place to consolidate scattered thoughts and emotions, others find it uncomfortable, distracting, and maybe even painful.
For some, retreats are part of their church tradition. For others, they are most definitely not.
In the midst of the busyness of life, why would anyone consider taking a silent retreat?
​

We warmly invite you to experience the peace and renewal of a retreat at Foxhill, where the gentle rhythms of nature meet the richness of faith.
It’s a blessing that can be savoured long after you return to everyday life.
