A Barnabas retreat is a unique experience…

Arrive by boat, leaving the busyness of daily life behind you. After a warm welcome, find your comfortable ensuite accommodation. Take time to walk around our beautiful property, enjoying the expansive views across the Howe Sound to the islands and mountains beyond.

Meet others on your retreat, a great chance to make new friends and reconnect with old ones. Enjoy dining together in our ocean-view dining room, savouring the delicious meals created by our chefs using fresh ingredients many of which have been sourced from our island farm.

Your retreat leader is specially chosen for their pastoral and ministry experience. They will guide you using scripture, worship, prayer and practical experience to open up new learning and fresh encounter with God.

Take time outside of these sessions to reflect, to pray and just to enjoy being in a holy space. Our 82 acre property offers many opportunities for forest hikes and sea-side walks. Our hot tub and all weather sports court are available whenever you need to exercise or relax. Our lodge-style lounge is the ideal place to read a book or just take in the ocean views. You can take a visual tour of Barnabas here.

We hope to welcome you to Barnabas soon!
