Gathered in Silence: A Contemplative Day for Christian Meditators
This day retreat is offered for those with an established meditative prayer practice — such as Centering Prayer, Christian Meditation, or Christian mindfulness. It will not provide instruction in these methods; rather, it is an invitation to enter into sustained shared silence with others who are accustomed to contemplative prayer.
Morning Prayer will include 50 minutes of shared silence, broken halfway by a slow, mindful walk around the chapel. Afternoon prayer will follow the same pattern. These periods offer generous space for the heart to rest in God beyond words and concepts.
Between morning and afternoon prayer we will continue to hold the silence during unstructured time for reflection. Participants may choose to quietly rest in stillness gazing across the harbour, walk the shoreline path giving quiet attentiveness to creation, pray with scripture through lectio divina, journal, draw etc. A simple vegetarian lunch will be shared at the middle of the day.
We will be using the chapel at CYE for part of the day. This space is situated upstairs and accessed by a flight of stairs; those with limited mobility may wish to take this into account when considering booking.

Retreat weekend
Shared Cabin Discount available!
Do you find that the busyness of life makes it hard for you to connect with God?
To hear God’s voice, we must learn to silence the noise of our distracted lives, slow down and listen intentionally to what the Spirit may be saying. Our retreat weekend will create space for you to encounter Jesus anew.
We will hold a safe space to explore ancient contemplative practices such as Lectio Davina and Examen. We’ll learn to engage our imagination and senses as we create a quiet space to listen to the still, small voice of God.
Whether this is your first retreat or your hundredth, whether you're in your twenties, thirties, or beyond, we warmly invite you to explore if this weekend could be beneficial for you. Retreats are open to everyone and can provide meaningful experiences at all life stages, particularly for those new to this kind of space or looking to rediscover their faith’s direction.
Ralph Buckingham will be leading our retreat. He has a rich background, having worked at CYE in the 90s and 2000s, taught at an international Christian school in India, and dedicated many years to working in a local church. Currently, Ralph serves as a spiritual director, guiding others on their faith journeys.
The all-inclusive price for an individual cabin is £155.
Those willing to share a cabin with one other guest, use the discount code SHARE2 to receive £60 off.

Inferno and Blaze Reunion
If you can't wait any longer for a little bit of CYE Summer camps then you've come to the right place. This event is aimed at facilitating a reunion between campers and providing a little mid winter boost to our faith to kickstart 2027.
Come ready for a day packed full of summer camp madness... in the middle of winter!
There will be games, challenges, cake and a campfire as well as plenty of opportunities to catch up with friends. We'll also make sure we have time to listen to a short talk and pray together at the start of a New Year.
