Spiritual Direction and Retreats - Prayerful Pilgrim | Prayerful Pilgrim

Nikki's Story

I have a varied background, starting out as a research scientist before working in the education sector with children with special needs, and from there finding myself called by God to become a Priest in the Church of England, where I have spent the past 10 years working in both parish ministry and as a hospital chaplain.

I have recently stepped back from parish ministry to focus my energy and attention on my passion of walking alongside others, whether individuals or groups, within the ministry of Spiritual Accompaniment and as a Retreat Facilitator.

Welcome,

I am Rev. Dr. Nikki Moon,

a trained Spiritual Companion and retreat space facilitator.

The call to train as a Spiritual Companion came whilst I was on Sabbatical in 2021, walking the Camino de Santiago. I am expanding my experience and deepening my understanding of Spiritual Direction by undertaking a Postgraduate Diploma in Carmelite Spirituality and Spiritual Direction, which I plan to complete in June 2026.

In June 2022, my family and I took on the challenge of restoring an old oak-beam property and transforming it into a family home with an attached retreat space. We opened Greystones Retreat Space in September 2023 and offer it to those seeking space and time out from the busyness of life. It can also be booked privately for led group retreats for up to 15 people.
