A Journey Tailored to You

This silent retreat offers a unique opportunity to step away from the noise of daily life and dive deeply into personal reflection. Guided by the experienced team from the Ignatian Spirituality Centre and the welcoming Minsteracres community, you’ll receive personalised spiritual guidance tailored to your individual journey. Whether you’re seeking clarity, peace, or a deeper connection with God, this retreat is designed to meet you where you are.

Set in the heart of Northumberland’s breathtaking 110-acre estate, Minsteracres provides a serene backdrop of gardens, woodlands, and historic buildings. The tranquil environment, combined with the warm hospitality of our Passionist community, creates the perfect setting for spiritual renewal.

Why Choose This Retreat?

Here are just a few reasons why the Individually Guided Retreat 2025 stands out:

Personalised Support: Work one-on-one with a spiritual guide who will listen, offer insights, and help you explore your faith or personal reflections in a safe, confidential space.
Embrace Silence: Experience the power of silence to quiet the mind and open the heart, allowing you to hear God’s voice or find clarity in your thoughts.
A Welcoming Community: Minsteracres is a Christian place of prayer, home to Roman Catholic Passionist priests, nuns, and laypeople. We welcome guests of all faiths and none, fostering an inclusive environment rooted in hospitality.
Connection with Nature: Wander through our 110 acres of parkland, featuring ancient redwood trees and scenic views across the Tyne Valley. Nature becomes a partner in your journey of reflection.
A Jubilee Year Experience: 2025 is a Jubilee Year in the Catholic Church, themed “Pilgrims of Hope.” This retreat aligns with this sacred time, offering hope and renewal amidst global challenges.
