Retreat Centre Description
Peace Place is a 3 acre smallholding and wildflower meadow, one mile from sandy beaches and St. Peters Chapel, built in 654AD, a liminal, tranquil place of worship on the tip of Essex. Peace place offers a combination of access to the living natural world, with chickens and goats and meditation/prayer space, including a circular prayer path built into the land. Full privacy is an option or conversation with the Christian hosts who offer the opportunity for daily shared prayer and spiritual exercises with devotional movement, under the trees. We follow the Celtic Daily Prayer of the Northumbria community and A Course in Miracles. Accommodation: one smalll, cosy caravan is available, or self catering camping; one cooked meal a day can be provided. There is a small boolshop on site.
Accommodation on Offer
There is a small caravan on site, ideal for one, or a couple. This has electricity.
Camping on the field is welcome, with a compost loo and fresh running water but no shower. Self catering, with a fire pit if camping, or one cooked meal a day can be provided, to campers or caravaners.
A small bookshop is available to browse.
There is the opportunity to be active, helping with feeding the animals and in learning to scythe.
