GreenSpirit Spring Walking Retreat

The GreenSpirit Spring Walking Retreat will take place from 26th to 29th May 2026. We will be staying at South Downs Youth Hostel in East Sussex (www.yha.org.uk/hostel/yha-south-downs).

YHA South Downs is a uniquely refurbished Sussex farmhouse in an enviable location right on the South Downs Way. This hostel enjoys substantial grounds of its own and is surrounded by the hills of the South Downs National Park – perfect for anyone wanting to walk in the rolling Sussex countryside.

We will gather for dinner on 26th May and will walk on the 27th & 28th of May and the morning of 29th May, departing for home after lunch together. In the evenings we will gather to do some creative activities and make our own entertainment.

We plan to walk in one main group so please be prepared to walk about 6 miles per day (except for the shorter walk on morning of the last day). Please ensure you are up to walking with the group, if you do need to turn back, that will be at your own risk. The walking is generally easy with stunning views and no steep inclines. We always walk with respect for this land of ours, stopping occasionally for some readings/poems/devotional activities.
