Survivors Retreat 2025: Selah
We are so excited for you to join us this year at our Survivors Retreat!
We can’t wait to meet you and treat you to a weekend filled with relaxing activities for you to choose from, as detailed within the program below. Take a look at where we will be staying with this video from the Ammerdown Centre.
Programme
The theme for this year’s Survivors’ Retreat is Selah, a Hebrew word appearing 74 times in the Hebrew Bible.
Translated, Selah indicates a pause in the text or song, a moment of reflection to consider what has been said or sung.
This Retreat, we will take time to pause, listen to God, rest, and reflect. Rest might look different for each of us; from movement to hand massage to craft, there are lots of different ways to rest! Take a look at the current programme for the retreat below, please note this may be subject to change:
Wondering what to Bring?
There isn’t much you’ll need to bring, but some recommendations include:
- Comfy, loose fitting clothing for our mindful movement sessions if you’d like to join these.
- A yoga mat if you have one (again for the mindful movement sessions).
- Trainers if you would like to join a run or walk.
- Exercise clothing if you would like to join a run or walk.
- A Bible.
In case you missed our Zoom Information Session and Q&A, you can watch the recording here. All questions asked at the end of the recording are answered in the follow up document below.
