“Seeing a stranger approach, I would put food in the eating place, drink in the drinking place, music in the listening place, and look with joy for the blessing of God, who often comes to my home in the blessing of a stranger.”
About
Nether Springs is the home and ‘Mother House’ of the Northumbria Community. Situated in peaceful Northumbrian countryside, our home welcomes people from all over the world and from all kinds of backgrounds, whether they are part of the Community or not, and wherever they are on their journey of faith.
Nether Springs welcomes people for many different reasons, including those making a retreat and giving themselves time to rest and reflect; those seeking guidance or a place to study; or those visiting just out of plain curiosity about the Community or the Celtic Saints and the Northumbrian landscape. Whatever your reason for journeying to Nether Springs, we welcome you.
Nether Springs is also the home of a small resident expression of the Community who, in the context of seeking God themselves, help keep the home running smoothly and facilitate retreats for guests. We look forward to being with you during your visit.
