Othona is an open and inclusive Christian Community drawing on a wealth of other inspirations. We welcome people of all ages, abilities, backgrounds and beliefs to our centre on the quiet Essex coast. Through sharing in a daily rhythm of work, worship, study and play, we seek to learn how to live together and learn from each other. In community we explore the relationship between faith and life and encourage one another in caring for the world and its people. It is a  place of welcome and acceptance whoever you are, providing simple accommodation and good food at a low cost.
