The Healing Power of Retreats

Each retreat offers a safe space to be, feel and see our inner life. The simple peace of the nature around our “monastery without walls” and Assisi softens the heart. We can let go of the things that normally keep us busy and find our own energy again, truth, and God’s presence. The retreat reminds us that our hearts are a sanctuary, a treasure to explore and receive. The silence, beauty, and feelings of being at home in our retreat, support us to find our inner home, our own mystical nature, simple peace.
People of all religions, all countries are welcome. Whether this is a person's first retreat or they have been a spiritual pilgrim for years, meditation retreats in Assisi are a powerful healing experience.
Our time with ourselves and the international community are a wonderful healer. In our shared silence, time in nature, and spiritual adventure there is a natural intimacy and bonding that is nourishing everyone. In each retreat we realize we are not alone on the path. Together we are making new choices in life, finding a spiritual practice that is meaningful, and discovering more purpose and joy.
Each retreat includes spiritual teachings and psychological tools which give us the support to find a more authentic life. It is an opportunity to explore our own spirituality and be as we wish to be with others who are also pilgrims of the heart. Each retreat is a time to make friends with our nakedness, go deeper within ourselves, and grow in our friendship with the wordless magic of life, our inner garden which is a garden of great light.
It is the experience of the retreat that is important. To have the intention to let go of the many things we carry and simple be is the door, the journey, and invitation to each day. The retreat experience restores us. The love in the silence renews us.
Group leaders, Bruce & Ruth Davis, have led retreats in many parts of the world for over twenty five years. They offer suggestions for the group generally and personally for anyone who wishes. People of all backgrounds find their guidance helpful as each person listens, heals, and appreciate their heart’s journey. Each day Ruth will teach the Sacred Movement Ritual, for those people who wish to participate. Everyday is a new opportunity to find new clarity, understanding, and trust.
