In our very busy lives, we often get the impression that we are running after time and we let days and months pass without having a real pause… Bur it is vital to be able to reconnect with ourselves.
A spiritual retreat offers the life-giving opportunity of a time for oneself under God’s eyes. A special time to deeply rest, reread one’s life, discern the choices to make in order to be freeer and happier.
A retreat is a time of silence, formation and rest in a revitalising place to enable us to strengthen us, find again the source of our interiority and focus again on the essential.

Why go on spiritual retreat ?
Whatever the reasons, the spiritual retreat is a breathing space in a setting that inspires inner reflection. The setting, silence and pace of the retreat give the participants the freedom to open up to themselves and to God.
A spiritual retreat is a break for the heart and the mind. It creates a breathing space for:
- Relaxing, resting and finding comfort in the middle of our very busy lives;
- Meeting with God in silence, reading his Word and rekindling the fire of our faith;
- Reflecting on the meaning of our existence, taking a step back before making important choices;
- Exploring the key questions of life and gaining a better understanding of the foundations of the Christian faith.
