Meditation is at 9 am, 3:30 pm and 7:30 pm, daily and includes quiet walks to sacred sites 4-6 times during the retreat. We lead heart centered meditation to feel the peace of Assisi all around us and the deep stillness within.


We have created a beautiful meditative space where the grace of Assisi touches us deeply.

old assisi residents bring kindness back to our heart

This is Columbo, one of my dearest old Assisi friends.  He is the embodiment of what Assisi gives to each person that comes.  Assisi is a sweet hug from the universe and supports each person to find that sweetness in their heart.  We welcome you to Assisi, Italy and our retreats of Simple Peace,
