Contemplative at Home

This is a new retreat however I have participated in an 8 week Ignatian Lent retreat and it was powerful and transformative, still informing my life at the end of 2025. In addition I have participated in monthly retreat days, both face to face and via Zoom. The riches of these times, Lissy’s gentle and wise direction invites us into encounter with Jesus as our source. I am thankful and excited to be accompanied through this opportunity with contemplative@home.

a wonderful time to be , to listen and to be refreshed. thank you

A really helpful little pause after a busy week. I came to it tired but left feeling more rested, grounded and energised.

Lissy reminded me that we can sometimes return to thought patterns that are not helpful and that kindness toward myself is important too. This mini-retreat was a lovely refreshment of my body, mind, and spirit. Thank you, Lissy!

Two hours of blissful time in the presence of God, refreshing and renewing mind, body, spirit.

I participated in a mini retreat recently, and it was delightful. It was a nourishing and restorative combination of meditation, reflection and yoga. Loved it.

I had such a wonderful time at the evening retreat. I came away feeling calm and relaxed. Lissy is absolutely fantastic.

I really relaxed and felt I had contributed positively to me mental and physical wellbeing. Thank you Lissy

Lissy creates a calm and welcoming environment. Its a great place to connect with God and yourself.

lovely refreshing space to think, move and journal. Thank you.

Lissy and Victoria led a group of us in reflective, mindful and creative sessions as we envisioned the year ahead. They held the space with ease and sensitivity in a very inclusive way. There was a lovely mix of movement, (gentle yoga); time to process alone in nature; and a collage activity as a visual way of capturing hopes and dreams for the year ahead. Great to have something I've created as well as journal notes! I'd recommend a retreat to anyone who needs space to reflect or go deeper x

A really well led session allowing time for reflection and prayer.

So grateful for 2 hours of guided calm led by Lissy. The barn at Leasowes farm provides the perfect place to relax and become still. Lissy ensured that we all felt comfortable with a gentle structure to the morning. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this wonderful session Lissy which reminded me that my soul is such a multi faceted place deep inside of me that is always being nourished with love by Jesus who loves us all so much.

Lissy created a precious Advent space for us all today. A moment to pause in the midst of preparing for Christmas to truly prepare what matters most for Christmas: our hearts. She guided us gently to pray and listen, sometimes as a group and sometimes alone. It was a beautiful morning, and full of meaning for each of us. Thank you, Lissy!
