Spring Changes: A Two Claires' Retreat.

A restorative retreat for women at Stanton House. Guided prayer, gardens, and rest. A trauma-informed space to prepare for your year.

The Two Claires Retreat

Thursday 11th March 5pm (doors open at 4pm) - Sunday 14th March 4pm

As the earth begins to stir in the quiet corners of Oxfordshire, the two Claires invite you to do the same. Spring Changes is a three-day retreat at Stanton House designed specifically for women seeking a caring space to meet with the Lord and prepare for the year to come.

In the transition from winter to spring, we gather not to "hustle" or "plan," but to listen. Through rhythms of guided prayer, worship, and Bible reflection, we will create space to notice what is budding by God’s grace in our own lives and what we are ready to leave behind in the winter soil.

Nestled in the warmth of Stanton House, you’ll find a trauma-informed environment where your autonomy is honored—every session and prayer station is an invitation, not an obligation. Come for the home-cooked meals, stay for the quiet, cozy spaces, and leave ready for the season ahead.

What to Expect:

• A Gentle Rhythm: Times of shared prayer and Bible reflection balanced with generous independent time.
• Creative Prayer: Thoughtfully curated prayer guides and stations to help you process your journey at your own pace.
• Engaging sessions: Gently incorporating movement, creativity, writing exercises and worship.
• True Rest: Enjoy the famous hospitality of Stanton House, featuring home-cooked meals, wonderfully comfortable bedrooms, cozy corners with easy chairs, and restorative grounds.
• A Trauma-Informed Space: We prioritize your felt safety. All activities are optional, allowing you to engage in a way that truly serves your soul.

Whether you arrive with a clear vision for 2027 or simply a need for rest, you are welcome here.
