Daily Program
This is a unique meditation retreat in Assisi Italy, where we feel the peace and sacredness of this ancient hilltop town. Our Retreats are small-group retreats which offer an intimate one-of-a-kind experience, honoring all faiths. Each retreat period is six days and five nights. Heart Meditation and gentle walks to sacred sites, bring us closer to the simple peace that St Francis and St Clare found. There are spacious afternoons as well to rest, read, explore hidden treasures, gardens, olive groves and back streets.
Pilgrims have been coming here for centuries from all corners of the world and keep coming for this peace. It is the peace of St. Francis, the peace from all the prayers of the pilgrims and religious orders, it is our hearts peace in the blessed sanctuary town of St. Francis, Assisi! The essence of a sacred pilgrimage, in Assisi, is to practice receiving. This practice includes being nonjudgmental, gentle, and open. We offer ourselves to the presence that is here, to nature, to one another. We offer our self completely. May the special peace of Assisi give us shelter to find life's true treasure, God in the depths of our hearts.
