We have a shepherd's hut as a solitary retreat venue in the grounds of The Barn called The Hermitage.

We sometimes 'harmonise' both venues when certain retreats take place in The Barn, and on Sunday 8 February our retreat Refuge and Belonging begins.

That's a retreat for People of Colour, so we'd like to ensure that a person of colour is on solitary retreat in The Hermitage simultaneously.

If that's you, view the link & our email address in the Comments to explore the venue and get in touch with us.

If YOU'VE benefited from going on retreat, and you'd like to help others of low-income to have the same experience, please consider giving to our Bursary Fund.

Each year, Bursary Fund donors help others - like Laura in this video - to transform their lives, access nature-mindfulness and access Sharpham Trust retreats - including at The Barn.

If you are able to help, visit our website and search "make a donation". Thank you. 💚

Recent retreatant:
"I attended a 'Being and Belonging' retreat here...and it was really lovely. This place is the ideal antidote to harsh, stressful modern lifestyles. It is a very nurturing place which embodies loving-kindness. Whatever you may experience, good or bad, you will be supported, and the sense of community is wonderful"
