5.0Monastery 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.
