Set
in the foothills of the Brecon Beacons National Park beside the
River Cynrig, Mill-Leat offers the perfect setting for people
seeking an opportunity to unwind, to enjoy the stunning scenery
and wild life and find deeper meaning, purpose and direction to
their lives. We offer different kinds of resources for different
people, for those of a Christian tradition and none. The beautiful
Gardens together with the Quiet Room
positioned alongside the old mill-stream at the top of the garden,
with sheep grazing on the neighbouring fields, offer peace and
tranquillity to guests seeking space to reflect and read, and
also for those who might wish to try their hand at sketching,
painting or creative writing. (Art materials along with tutorial
guidance are available for those considering a Painting
Break with a difference!)
Spiritual
Guidance, Counselling support and the Enneagram
Personality Type indicator are an offer for those seeking
deeper understanding of themselves and their circumstances. Mill-Leat
is also well-equipped with a fairly extensive Library
for guest retreatants.
Marriage
Refreshment Breaks for couples who might enjoy the opportunity
of spending quality time together to take a look at their relationship
afresh, as well as Marital and Family Therapy
for those wanting to resolve particular family concerns.
Bespoke
Retreats can also be arranged for fellowship groups,
either on a Quiet Day basis or an extended residential
Community Development Programme geared for those
who are seeking to be more effective in their communal lives and
ministries.
