We're building a
HOUSE OF LIFE
A place of peace and purpose on our precious Island
with a welcome for everyone
Will you join us on the journey?
Let's imagine this together!
Take a look at the pictures ... imagine you're sitting on that comfy sofa ....sleeping on that bed for as long as you need ..... you're dreaming your own dreams, gazing out of that window, walking in the garden,
or sitting down at the table
to share breakfast with new friends.
Or are you planning to go out exploring?
You're in the perfect place to do all that

Creativity
Discover your spiritual self whilst creating something - there'll be chances to try activities that are new to you - from cheese-making to card-making and from pottery to photography
Hospitality
Thie Dy Vea welcomes people of all faiths and none - and the hospitality we offer you is tailored to your specific needs, whether you come alone, or with a group
Wholeness
When we're a complete and harmonious whole, we return to the state of being physically and mentally unbroken and undamaged - help to wholeness is at the heart of Thie Dy Vea
History
Thie Dy Vea is ideally placed within walking distance of some beautiful and significant spiritual sites - but the whole Island is filled with routes back into our Celtic heritage
Solitude
Solitude is the state of being alone, without being lonely. It's a positive and constructive state of engagement with oneself - and Thie Dy Vea will offer spaces to seek that solitude
Worship
All life in Thie Dy Vea is sustained by a daily cycle of prayer led by members of the Community - our visitors are welcome to join in as much - or as little - as they wish.
