Jenny Butter at Epiphany Life Coaching runs retreats at Penhurst Retreat Centre in East Sussex.

Penhurst is a delightful place in a beautiful setting, surrounded by bluebell and wild garlic woods in miles of countryside. It is bathed in years of history and serves tasty homemade, fresh, local food.

You can curl up with a book, watch the flames or embers in the fire, stroll around the orchard, nestle in the summerhouse, watch wildlife in the pond, browse the library or use the art room for creative expression.

Whilst Penhurst is predominantly a Christian retreat centre, you don’t have to have a faith to attend. If you would like more information about any of the retreats or would like Jenny to run a retreat for your centre, then please contact Jenny Butter.

Silent Retreat for Women in Leadership.

Monday 21st March to Friday 25th March 2022

This 3-night residential experience is designed to provide a time, space and setting for a personal retreat. You will be with a small group of women with similar yet individually unique motivations and approaches to this retreat. It is primarily individual, though there is an unusual and often profound blessing that comes from being alongside others doing the same thing.

The retreat will be a time and place for:

• Reflection – seeking and listening to your own heart

• Refreshment – entering into stillness to gain rest for your soul

• Reframing – the potential to gain fresh insight and clarity about your life and work

• Revitalising – the opportunity to gain new strength, energy and vision for the future

Whether you are searching for insight or clarity on your future life and work direction, or in need of a real, “fully breathing out” break, you will find a great context for it here. The daily one-to-one sessions (if required) will not focus on leadership or give you anything to read. They will give you an opportunity to have coaching on what is important to you at this time. To read more about what to expect on this retreat, read my blog post on silent retreat for women in leadership.

Finding Your Purpose – Become Energised. This retreat has been postponed. Watch this space for new dates to be announced.

What does God want me to do with my life? This is a common question asked and one that many people want answered. Within each of us is a desire to lead purposeful and fulfilling lives in which we feel energised, yet often it can be hard to know what that is specifically.

This four night retreat will enable you to understand who you have been created to be and from the knowledge, freedom and permission gained from this; which types of situations and roles are a good fit.

At the end of the retreat you will understand who you are (being) as well as what you should be ‘doing’ and from this how and where you can use these gifts.

One to one coaching or prayer sessions will be available, if required.

This retreat uses a spiritual gifts survey and the Gallup Clifton StrengthsFinder. You will do the spiritual gifts survey as part of the retreat but you are required to come having completed the Gallup Clifton StrengthsFinder online assessment prior to arrival.

More details will be sent after booking through Penhurst Retreat Centre.

Life Balance – sorry, you have missed this retreat. Watch this space for new dates to be announced.

Work-life balance off kilter? Need to figure out how to use your time in retirement or parenthood? Feeling drained whilst caring?

Each person’s needs, environments, life phase and situations are different, so there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to creating and maintaining life balance. The key is to understand your own personal circumstances by reflecting and listening and answering these questions  – what’s working, what’s not working, what needs to change and what’s missing?

Retreat Outline:
• Examining your own life
• Tools you can use
• Creating your own plan
• One-to-one sessions are available if required

“This weekend has helped me to re-focus my time and energy in a meaningful way and I am sure it will help me going forward in making the most of my available time in a good way for work/life/ministry. A must do.”  Leo

“I can’t recommend this more highly. If you are too busy to attend a retreat, you’re not, you need this! Invest some time in your work-life balance and you will be a changed person with improved well-being .” Cheryl Norman

Living Your Strengths – Sorry you have missed this retreat. Watch this space for new dates to be announced.

“I needed a refreshment in my life and a new perspective, as well as a boost in confidence. I will be singing its praises at home and at work!”  Johanna Thompson.
