The Pilsdon Community has been welcoming people since 1958. We are a radically inclusive community and hold our love of people, social justice, our care for the environment in a woven way that respects the need for a minimum of rules to support and protect us all. As 2025 unrolls we are entering a new phase with the arrival of our new warden, Helen, who moved in at the beginning of February.

Helen writes:

I come to Pilsdon from a rural group of parishes on the edge of the Norfolk Broads. Having grown up living in community on a smallholding it very much feels like a coming home. Community and inclusion lie at the heart of what makes me tick as a human being and a priest, and Pilsdon embodies both of those things beautifully. This new role comes at the end of a long period of discernment as to what God is calling me to next, and I know the community has also spent a lot of time praying and reflecting on what a warden at Pilsdon needs to be and do. I’m looking forward to settling in to the rhythms of Pilsdon life and getting to know people, animals, and land better. Hoping not to have to press the drain rods into active service just yet though!

We remain committed to a life centred on the disciplines of prayer, hospitality and work. We are a radically inclusive community and hold our love of people, social justice, our care for the environment in a woven way that respects the need for a minimum of rules to support and protect us all.

We are actively seeking new members and residential volunteers. Maybe you know someone who would welcome an opportunity to live life differently? Could it be you?

Blessings from all of us at Pilsdon
