ENCOUNTERING CHRIST IN COMMUNITY AND CREATION


ENCOUNTERING CHRIST IN COMMUNITY AND CREATION



Welcome to the Society of St Columba’s website. Here you will be able to
discover some of the life and activity that we are involved with. As a new
monastic Christian community based at Chanctonbury, deep in the heart of the
South Downs National Park, we are privileged to live in a visually stunning
rural location at the end of a road that goes no where, a place were we arrive
to begin again.

As a Christian community we are seeking to outwork a simple spiritual rhythm or
lifestyle, a rhythm that consists of PRAYER, WORK, READING, PILGRIMAGE, SILENCE,
SABBATH and investing into the geographical PLACE (Chanctonbury) itself.

When you arrive you will discover our old heritage (turn of the 19th century) 23
acre farmstead called St Columba’s Farmstead, that we are diligently restoring
to its former glory. You may encounter some of our community busy digging and
planting in the community garden or away under the Lebanese Cedar tree tending
our fledgling five acre forest garden. Look a little further and you will bump
into The Chanctonbury Flock, affectionally known as The Wild Ones – a mixed
flock of idiosyncratic and precoscious rare breed Manx Loaghtan and Shetland
sheep.

If you listen you will hear the thrumming of our bees, the high call of the
Buzzards, Red Kites, the Yellowhammer’s lilting song or the choral bursts of the
Nightingale and Skylark. Down in the hermitage field the wind plays a symphony
on the old row of Populars where there is a deep peace to be encountered and
swept up in.

If you decide to visit, there is plenty of space for you to come and contribute
to reawakening our origins in God. Whether it is working on the land, finding
space to retreat and be alone with God, or to reimagine how life could be lived,
you would be most welcome. We hope you enjoy the St Columba’s website, get a
feel for our life as a community and hope to see you soon.

May the peace of Christ rest upon you and all whom you know.

The Society of St Columba.
