The Bield at Blackruthven is a center for Christian spirituality, retreat and healing in the widest sense of the word.
The focus is expressed in the name of 'Bield' which is an old Scottish word. It carries such meanings as refuge and shelter, or activities such as 'to nurture', 'to embolden' and 'encourage'. To nurture healing of soul and body While people of all faiths or of none are welcome at the Bield, our vision is centered in the person of Jesus Christ, and the well-being, nurture and healing found in him. Community members have diverse Christian backgrounds and are one-world as well as one-church minded. To encourage reflection and learning The Bield enables you to take time out to deal with your need to be alone or with God or to find your own center, regain balance in your life. The retreat centre is set within 30 acres of lawns and woodlands. A charming walled garden provides organic produce to complement our table as well as beauty and peace to delight the senses. Many unusual birds have found a safe haven here. Various sculptures and artworks are waiting to be discovered both inside and out. |
