Frequently asked questions

What can I expect from a monastery retreat?
During a monastery retreat, you'll experience a structured daily routine with set prayer or meditation times, silence, simple meals, and often the opportunity to participate in monastic life. It's about finding peace and gaining distance from everyday life. You'll currently find 77 monastery retreat offers at Retreat Vacation.
How much does a monastery retreat cost?
Monastery stays are often surprisingly affordable. Prices range from €98 to €4.100, with an average of €655. Many monasteries also work with suggested donations or self-assessment pricing.
Do I need to be religious to do a monastery retreat?
No, most monasteries welcome people of all faiths as well as non-religious guests. The focus is on silence, inner reflection, and personal contemplation. Of course, respect for monastic traditions is expected.
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?
Yes, monasteries typically follow a fixed daily rhythm with prayer times (e.g., Lauds, Vespers), communal meals, and rest periods. As a guest, depending on the monastery, you can participate in all or selected activities.
