Mission Enablers’ Retreat: a time for reflection, recharging and support

March 5, 2027 - March 8, 2027

Description

This is an opportunity for those serving in mission across Scotland to come and spend extended time together and be refreshed in that calling. If you are involved in encouraging, facilitating, training, coaching or enabling mission, this is an opportunity for you to gather with like-minded people – for mutual encouragement and support.

Times of facilitated sharing and learning will be mixed with a choice of outdoor or indoor activities. The weekend will be underpinned by a daily rhythm of prayer and promises to be a time of warm fellowship and fresh inspiration. All this set in the beauty and ruggedness of the Western Highlands. A generous welcome awaits.

The retreat will begin from your own doorstep on 5 March, as you will be sent suggestions to help make your journey to Kilmalieu a time of pilgrimage. Likewise, after leaving Kilmalieu on 8 March you will be offered some guidance to ensure that your journey home is an integral part of the experience.

Situated on the shores of Loch Linnhe, Kilmalieu enjoys a stunning Highland setting. This beautifully renovated eighteenth-century hunting lodge offers comfortable single, twin and family rooms, alongside homemade food that is consistently praised by guests.

During your stay, you will have access to the library, art room, lounge, chapel, games room, labyrinth and gym, as well as the extraordinary landscape that surrounds us.
