ABOUT PELAGOS
|
Pelagos is a Greek word which means the open sea. A place where new horizons extend in every direction, a place without boundaries, a place of peacefulness and calm changed only by the wind’s breath upon its surface. Under the surface Pelagos is teeming with life waiting to be discovered and explored. This deep water is also a place of miracles.
Pelagos invites you to respond to the call of Jesus to ‘put out into the deep’, and discover who God is creating you to be. |
Jesus' invitation is at the heart of what we do
"Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly."
Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message).

Pelagos is...
A place
Pelagos is a Christian Retreat and Spirituality Centre in the rural Buckinghamshire village of Prestwood. We offer a place where individuals, groups and churches can come for day retreats to reflect, refresh and refocus, as well as providing excellent training and teaching resources.
A way of life
Pelagos has at its heart Jesus' invitation to, keep company with him and live freely and lightly, this comes from our still centre as we stop regularly to pray and reflect in the presence of the living God. This rhythm of stillness, prayer and reflection not only shapes our daily life but also what we offer.
A community
Pelagos is a community of companions on the journey of faith. We are diverse, ecumenical and dispersed, yet woven together as a community by the Holy Spirit. We journey together, through prayer, learning and sharing, into the unconditional love of God, so that we may carry His love back out into the world through our presence and acts of service.
