We take a holistic approach to leadership, integrating thinking and learning, prayer and liturgy, personal and inter-personal development, and communication and leadership skills.
Engage with today’s ethical and societal challenges, through input from established academics and leaders and guided group tasks.
Enjoyable yet highly-relevant skills workshops, including media training, team-building exercises and policy development.
A structured spiritual and liturgical life, introducing different methods of prayer.
A fun and safe environment to develop new friendships, with organised socials and free time.
Each programme consists of a 5-day residential delivered at Theodore House - an exclusive, modern retreat facility set in the stunning Stonyhurst estate in the Ribble Valley.
The residential is complemented by introductory and follow-up Zoom sessions to prepare and debrief you.
