We love the way these weeks seem to meet such a wide range of needs. Remember, we’re always happy to talk things through on the phone. If you’re on a tight budget they offer our very best value. The last of our tiny bedrooms are gone so all are a decent size with most en-suite, plus communal rooms, grounds, chapels and the library.Numbers are restricted during Long Barn rebuilding in the first part of the year so we have added an extra week to accommodate demand.
It’s worth keeping an eye on the listings on the Sheldon website, as we may add more Time Out weeks as need and opportunity arise during the year. All these events are open to everyone.

If you never find time to read those interesting books you’ve bought, or would love some time to rummage in Sheldon’s library, why not try a Sheldon Reading Week? In fact you don’t even have to read at all – you can just come and use the week for a private retreat, or to rest and catch up with yourself and God. Or take "holiday" right back to its roots as "holyday" time.
These times are structured simply to meet a range of needs. Perhaps you find it easier to take time apart for study or prayer when the space is leavened with some human contact. Perhaps you need a restful break and would prefer the hospitality of a community to being on your own. Perhaps you need respite from caring, or time to recuperate from stress or illness, and would benefit from regular meals and freedom from demands.
1:1 time may be available for people in ministry, but only if booked in advance. |

| As above, plus opportunity to see in the New Year in a quiet and reflective way with a candlelit midnight Eucharist. Good food, good company, plenty of time and space to do your own thing. No silly hats, no party games – feel free to be as sociable or unsociable as you wish. Sheldon has generous central heating, and of course you can be sure of a warm welcome whatever the weather! |
