Here's the schedule of what's on over the coming months at Nether Springs, but guests are welcome to come for space and stillness without having to engage in any of the programmed retreats.  If you want to enquire further, or find out about making a booking, then please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The schedule is set out monthly, but a complete list for the whole year is also available, after December's entry. 

MayThePeaceFeaturedSeeing a stranger approach,
I would put food in the eating place,
drink in the drinking place,
music in the listening place,
and look with joy for the blessing of God,
who often comes to my home
in the blessing of a stranger.

The Nether Springs is the 'Mother House' of the Northumbria Community, situated just outside of Felton, Northumberland.  The facility consists of converted farm buildings, four-sides around a courtyard, not unlike a traditional medieval monastery.  The rooms are spacious and comfortable.  We have nine ensuite rooms that can be set with twin beds or a super-king, and one larger ensuite room that is designated as a family room.  The house is wheelchair user-friendly and one of the ensuite bedrooms is wheel-chair accessible.  We have space for twenty-two guests to spend the night.

It is home to a small team of resident Community companions, who in the context of seeking God themselves, help keep the home running smoothly and facilitate retreats for guests.

It's possible to come on a 'programmed' retreat, where we focus on a particular theme or to come with just to be and have some quiet space
.  See the Staying at Nether Springs article for information about visiting the Mother House.
