Retreat House Chester offers ways to peace. Rooted gently and deeply in Christian spiritual tradition, we offer a wide range of ways to retreat for all people, not in a traditional retreat house but as a part of living. Find local non-residential retreat right in the middle of Chester and in the midst of everyday life.
