Jesus invited his disciples to ‘come aside & rest for a while’ due to the busyness of ministry. If they needed it in the 1st century, how much more do we need it now! We have a mix of Retreats available – some open to everyone, and others just for Senior Pastors & Senior Staff (those who carry a significant leadership load). We use a mixture of spiritual exercises to help us go deeper into the Father’s love, moving from head to heart.

Retreat Days. Held on the edge of Oxford, and suitable for anyone who knows Jesus. A simple format of space and spiritual exercises (such as Bible Meditations, Prophetic Journalling, Imaginative Bible Reading, Picture Mediations, and Finger Labyrinths.) We work on our own and in community, to maximise the richness of the experience.

Soul Spa Retreat Part 1 – the next one is planned to be in Scotland in 24-27 March 2025 (bookings coming soon). These Retreats come in 3 parts – you can do them in any order if you like, but it makes more sense to start with Part 1. Vineyard Soul Spa Retreats are designed to help church leaders find refreshment, spiritual renewal and space to think, plus opportunities for personal ministry in a peaceful setting.

We hope you will find time to relax, slow down and engage with God away from the usual bustle of church leadership. We are delighted to invite you to join us for a four-day retreat, which is repeated annually for three years.

We aim to provide a place of rest and connection with God. Our sessions will focus on experiencing God’s presence and listening for His invitation for connection. Worshipping, listening as a community, and finding intimacy with God in times of personal reflection, will refresh your soul and body. Opportunity for an Immanuel Prayer or soaking prayer session will be available.

“I wouldn’t be here today (leading my church) if it wasn’t for my retreat.” – Vineyard Senior Pastor
