Come & rest awhile

The Kairos Centre is a Catholic spirituality and conference centre in south-west London, set within landscaped and secluded gardens near Richmond Park. We offer a peaceful space for prayer, reflection, and personal and group retreats, with opportunities for quiet days, spiritual direction and residential stays. We also host organised retreats and events.

We extend a warm invitation to all who desire to share opportunities for spiritual reflection and growth in our tranquil grounds, where together, we can respond to the Lord’s call to "come and rest awhile."

Our upcoming schedule

Walk the Well and Meet God

We are looking very forward to displaying the infamous ‘Woman at the Well’ Icon which will be loaned from the Retreat Association.

We invite you to our Praying with Icon Day on May 30th- a one-off opportunity to spend time and pray with the Icon and a chance to respond in a creative way using art materials. No experience necessary.

Weekend Retreat: “Come to me you who labour and carry heavy burdens…and I will give you rest.”

Why are we living like this? Why are we running so fast and carrying so much? Is there not another way of living life to the full without being conflicted all the time? Why not take a few days out, breathe slowly, relax and think? 
DAVID WELLS, a renowned and highly sought after Public Speaker, Author, Teacher and Lecturer is coming to Kairos to lead this weekend.  His gentle and humorous approach to wellness, rooted in the Scriptures, is not to be missed!  

Preached Retreat: The Eucharist as a Sacrament of Healing and a Way of Life

In this retreat, we explore the significance of the Eucharist - the very sacrifice of the Lord Jesus through His Body and Blood- through healing and daily life.
