Retreat in Assisi and excursions: theme "Contemplation and life"

A retreat is a retreat from one's usual surroundings, a time-out for oneself. The aim is for the person to be far away from the routine and obligations of everyday life, to have a wonderful meeting with themselves, where calm, serenity, stillness and peace await them.

It is a 4-day seminar in the beautiful town of Assisi in Umbria. The theme for the seminar is "Contemplation and Life. "

In this retreat we will work on different topics such as: Prayer, meditation, contemplation, holiness, techniques for a spiritual time out in daily life. I will lead a guided healing meditation called: "Everything is sacred". There will also be time for self, walks in nature and opportunities for practice in contemplation.

There are also 3 excursions planned:
- 1 day trip to Rieti by minibus: visit to the former hermitage of the Franciscans in Fonte Colombo, La Foresta, Greccio and Poggio Bustone.
- 1 half-day excursion to Monte Subasio (Eremo Carcieri) near Assisi: free time and a group activity.
- Optional on Wednesday afternoon or Sunday afternoon: half-day excursion on foot to Assisi town, with a visit to some sights related to Francis and Clara.

This retreat is suitable for people of all religions who would like to have an intimate contact with their heart and experience the true meaning of spirituality and bring it into practice in everyday life.

The minimum number of participants is 8 and the maximum is 15.

REGISTRATION DEADLINE no later than February 15, 2026
