Community Fellowship Weekend

at Othona West Dorset 22-25 May 2026

Above are some of the delights in store for those who come on our CF Fellowship weekend at Othona in Dorset – this will be less of a retreat, more of a communal time, everyone helping out with gardening / cooking / etc Open to all – not just Companions on the Way…

Join Us for a Restorative Fellowship Weekend by the Sea!

Step away from the busyness of life and immerse yourself in a weekend of rest, reflection, and community on the beautiful south coast. This is a chance to connect, unwind in peaceful surroundings, and share in the rhythm of another community.

What to Expect:
🌿 Shared Community Life – Enjoy time together with seasoned Companions on the Way who have belonged to Contemplative Fire for years alongside new people just dipping their toes into our community. Also join in with the Othona community sharing simple tasks like preparing meals and setting tables in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The team at Othona makes it easy and fun!

🕊 Sacred Space – Enjoy quiet moments in the beautiful chapel, with time for personal contemplation as well as shared silence with the community.

🌊 Activities & Leisure – Stroll along the coast, get creative in the ‘Four Seasons’ art studio, explore local sights, or simply relax with a book from the extensive library. Enjoy board games, a cosy fire pit, and even a piano for impromptu music.

NB This event is now fully booked.
