Studies have shown that time spent outside is good for our physical and mental health. Thankfully, it's also very joyful!

At Morning Retreat, our time together starts with a walk to greet the chickens, sheep and other animals and includes a circle time of seasonal verses and songs. After an informal picnic (bring a snack--we provide the beverage), and a short hike of the property, a brief puppet story will conclude our time together. You are welcome to continue enjoying the retreat centre grounds informally for the rest of the day as well if you like.

Seasonal adventures may include:  visiting the lambs, a wander around the labyrinth, or a spring ephemerals stroll. 

Morning Retreat classes will be held on Mondays for the autumn & spring terms of the 2026-27 school year at Crieff Hills Retreat Centre. 

9:30-11:30am

Class meets rain or shine!
