Accommodation

Set in the stunning Buckinghamshire countryside, St. Katherine's is a dedicated retreat centre, mostly hosting prayer and meditation retreats. It is comfortable and homely with a fascinating history. 

Simple but tasty meals are made at St. Katherines which are all halal. 

Therapy

There are three group therapy sessions and a one to one personal integrative arts therapy session with our trained trauma counsellor. 

Painting Studio

Yoga

It is well established that trauma is stored in the body. This is why there will be an emphasis on body work and connection to help you feel at peace again within your own body. 

​

The yoga workshops, run by trauma specialist, Cath Watsham, will be tailored to your specific needs with movements to help release trapped emotions. 

About the Retreat

Spiritually reconnect

We do some group prayers, as well as Islamic healing meditation for inner peace and healing.
