Make Your Friendships Flourish Retreat at Lee Abbey
2025-09-05 - 2025-09-07 | Lee Abbey Devon, Lynton, North Devon, EX35 6JJ, United Kingdom
A fun, practical retreat on forming and deepening adult friendship
The research is startling: having close friends reduces anxiety and depression, increases our health and happiness, and even extends our lifespans. And yet the number of people saying they have no close friends increases by the year. Overlooked in popular culture, pushed aside by work and family demands, and weakened by a global pandemic, it’s time to get intentional about this foundational bond.
In this retreat we will explore what friendship is (and isn’t), how to overcome the barriers against it, plus fun and practical ways to form and deepen it, while looking at friendship in the life of Jesus—all in the warmth of Lee Abbey’s welcoming community.

We need an urgent conversation on the ‘friendship recession’ and on 15 October 2025, I get to step on to the red dot to start one! The theme of the event is continuity and change, and I’ll have just 12 minutes to unpack the reason for the crisis, the myths we believe that keep us from connecting deeply, and share a Manifesto for a Friendship Revolution.
If you’re UK-based, join us on the day. Fellow presenters will speak on the power of rest, why love can’t be outsourced to apps, solutions to the problems of AI, how to avoid scams, and much more. It will be an incredible day of inspiring ideas!
