The Community of the Servants of the Will of God is a hidden treasure. It has a vision of all things gathering together in Christ in which the visible unity of Christians, east and west is paramount. With that vision there is a hands on commitment to worship and the discipline of Christian life in which the Jesus Prayer of Orthodoxy plays an important part. I have been visiting the Monastery at Crawley Down for 20 years and have received much guidance and inspiration from CSWG. The situation of the Monastery hidden away in the forest is provocative of spiritual deepening.

Wonderful place. Almost joined. Called to be solitary.

I did a week here of quiet retreat in 2018. It was a very peaceful and holy time with God. This is the perfect place for getting away from the hustle and bustle of modern life and finding quiet space for reflection, for contemplation, for meditation and for study. The accommodation is simple and homely. The hospitality is generous and kind. The open space and the woods and the river give you space to reflect and pray in nature contemplating the wonder of God's creation. Thanks to the brothers for their welcome and warm spirit. I also enjoyed the times of worship (orthodox spirituality). My background is Evangelical but I greatly appreciated the liturgy and the worship. I am seeking to make this a regular retreat. And have recommended to all.

Respectful silence, a prayer-soaked atmosphere, and unhurried, regular times of worship here slows time and helps you focus on what matters most: God. Comfortable rooms, nice food and lovely people.

A few years ago, I spent a few days in retreat at the monastery; the gracious guest master shared with me the need for complete silence in and around the religious house and guest quarters. This indisputably was a place where I could listen to the voice of God without intrusion. Hushed woods stretched in one direction interspersed by huts for hermits or retreatants? I never did find out. In the other direction a lake lay in blue serenity. The Liturgy and offices in the chapel were cloaked in Eastern chants and Orthodox incense. The psalms and silence were perfect as a means to search for the Lord. Stern ikons looked down on one wherever one went. At holy communion all members of the community came together, monks, nuns, eremitical persons and guests. The meals were vegetarian and were simple and nutritious. Enough to keep body and soul together. It was haymaking time and both the monks and nuns answered the call to make hay whist the sun shone. Such were their labours that the evening repass was foregone. As my time of monastic solitude came to an end, the Father Superior made himself available for ghostly counsel. I had indeed been a part of a little Mount Athos for a short while.
