About the Experience
Step away from the rush of everyday life and into the peace of Edale, where rolling hills meet open skies, and space is made for Faith, Adventure and Reflection.

Abide With Me is a unique three-day experience designed for those who seek something more profound. Guided by the warmth and wisdom of Gemma Hunt, this weekend blends outdoor adventure with gratitude practice, group connection, and spiritual stillness.

Whether you come alone or with friends, you’ll leave feeling stronger, refreshed, and more grounded.

Gemma and Guest Speaker Sessions: Abiding in Faith and Nature

Each morning at Abide With Me will be a gentle but deep invitation to pause — to sit with one another, to explore the idea of what it truly means to abide, and to reconnect with God’s presence in the stillness and beauty of creation.

Together, we’ll reflect on this powerful word—abide—through a faith-filled lens. What does it mean to wait patiently? To remain in a place when life feels uncertain? To endure, dwell, submit, and reside in God’s love even when answers don’t come quickly?

Through open, heartfelt discussion, we’ll explore how these ideas play out in our lives and how we can draw strength from them. I’ll be sharing some of my own stories of faith: times when I’ve wrestled with waiting when I’ve questioned when I’ve leaned in and found God in the quiet moments.

We’ll also consider faith as our guide. This will be a safe, sacred space to ask questions, listen, share, and let go of the pressure to have everything in life figured out. You don’t need to be a Bible expert or have the perfect words — just bring your heart and a willingness to be present.

Let’s journey together — deeper into faith, stillness, and what it means to abide.
