Birdwatching Retreat with Even Sparrows
14 October @ 13:00 - 19 October @ 13:00
Our October 2024 retreat on Holy Island is timed for the peak period of autumn migration. It runs from Monday 14th in the afternoon until Friday 18th in the morning.
Our time will be spent on and around Holy Island which in the autumn hosts large numbers of waders, duck and geese as well as arriving migrants from continental Europe and warblers from Siberia.
The all-inclusive price is 595 pounds per person (plus 150 pounds single room supplement) which includes 4 nights full board, accommodation and retreat fees.
We will be staying on the island itself at Marygate House – a very comfortable Georgian house with twin bedded rooms that share bathrooms and toilets. The food is home-made and consistently praised for its good quality. We will have exclusive use of the house and its facilities which includes its impressive library about Celtic Christianity.
In order to book your room, please firstly contact me about availability. You will need to send a deposit of 195 pounds which is returnable until 6 weeks before when the balance is due. 50% is refundable up until 4 weeks before, and 25% refundable until 2 weeks to go.
LOOK AT THE BIRDS retreats are special opportunities to learn in depth about birds and what they reveal about God’s love. We have guided birdwatching walks suitable for complete beginners, plus a rhythm of quiet contemplative worship and reflections on some of the main birds featured in the Bible like the dove, the eagle, the raven and the owl.
