  • ​Each of our retreat leaders have been teaching meditation for over 40 years.  While sharing the spirit of Assisi, they lovingly guide heart centered meditation, self-enquiry, and periods of quiet. As we bring this into our daily practices, our contemplative journey becomes especially powerful and memorable.   ​​
​​
  • Our Retreats are limited to 15 guests and are made up of solo guests from all over the world !!  This is an intimate one-of-a-kind experience honoring all faiths. The stories of Francis are used as a metaphor for touching the human and divine in us all.
