Monastery Retreats

Monasteries always exude a magical aura and as soon as we enter, we leave everyday trivialities and problems at the door. No smartphones, no television, no pointless distractions. Monasteries are places of contemplation, peace and quiet. Silent retreats, fasting retreats or a temporary stay in a monastery are often offered in this contemplative environment.

Do I need to be religious to do a monastery retreat?

How long should a monastery retreat last?
For a first visit, 3–5 days is recommended to truly absorb the monastic rhythm. However, there are also weekend options for a short retreat or longer stays of one to several weeks for a deeper experience.
What should I pack for a monastery retreat?
Pack comfortable, simple clothing (no bright colors), sturdy shoes for walks, toiletries, and optionally a book or journal. Many monasteries deliberately avoid electronics – check the house rules in advance.
Is there a fixed daily schedule during a monastery retreat?
