Mental prayer: new paths?

Experience a retreat together

If you are looking for a new way to pray, if you want to renew your commitment to mental prayer, then come and take this time for renewal, rest, and prayer with us.

A time of presence to God, to yourself, to others, in silence, movement, and nature, through meditation on God's Word and before an icon.

No skills required - All physical limitations are respected
