“God is for us a refuge and strength, an ever-present help in time of distress.”

A WEEKEND seeking to affirm and encourage LGBT+ Christians of all traditions in their faith and identity as beloved by God.
There will be time for workshops and sharing, silence, prayer, worship and creativity in beautiful surroundings.
We invite you to join us for this special weekend of retreat where we’ll explore our true selves in our relationship with God. This retreat is your time to be on holiday with God in the company of others from the LGBT+ Christian community. Our approach will embrace different Christian traditions.
We are also very pleased to be able to offer Spiritual Direction to those who would like it during this weekend. Please ask for this when you book your place, as we need advance notice to allocate directors for this retreat.
Suggested offerings for 2 days:
Simple Room: £166
Standard Room: £206
Ensuite Room: £246
These suggested offerings help St Beuno’s to cover our costs, but no-one should feel excluded for financial reasons. Find out how to apply for a bursary here.
Going deeper
This year, for the first time, we encourage you to stay on if you are able to deepen your weekend's reflection on an individually guided silent retreat. Read more and book here.
If you are able to stay on for the individual retreat, we recommend NOT booking a spiritual direction session during the weekend.
The team
This retreat will be led by Cathy, Frank, Kieran and Sarah, representing Quest, which supports LGBT+ Catholics, and the Open Table Network, a partnership of worship communities for LGBT+ Christians, our family, friends & anyone who wants to belong in an accepting, loving community.
