SUMMER 2026

MAY 2026

At the beginning of Summer in May, we welcomed a group of over thirty UK based Asian women who held their Retreat here. They were from all over UK. They spent a lot of time in personal and group mediation, walking meditation and Yoga. The weather was very pleasant and our garden was at its peak. They also enjoyed a variety of India dishes specially created for them.

JUNE 2026

In June, we welcomed our Roman Catholic Retreat Group mainly from London. It was an intensely spiritual Retreat where they spent time in group input sessions, but also in individual spiritual exercises, journaling and personal prayer. They were able to use our Main Chapel, the Oratory and also the grounds. They expressed their gratitude of how much they had benefited from their time together. 

We do hope that they are able to return to Park Place to deepen the spiritual bond that they have created during this Retreat. We wish them every blessing.

June was also a time when the Anglican Diocese of Winchester held a Retreat for the Ordination of Priests and Deacons. It was a very enriching experience for all of them and we hope to see the Deacons next year when they come for the preparation of the Retreat in preparation for their Ordination.

JULY 2026

The Golden Lotus -Health and Wellness Group spent some time at Park Place, relaxing, recouping re-energizing and basically having fun together.

The Quiz Curry Night was a huge success. Caroline and Ron Durant helped with creating a delicious Chicken curry. It was probably the focus of the quiz night. Everyone seemed to be having great fun enjoying the food, while teasing their brains to win the quiz prize.  The Event was hosted by the Friends of Park Place in order to support our project in Tanzania. So a huge thank you to all who worked hard to bring it on and all those who attended it. It will surely put a smile on the faces of underprivileged children.
