You do not need to be a believer to go on a retreat at an abbey. Many abbeys welcome people from all walks of life, whether they are committed to a faith or simply seeking calm, meaning, or inner stillness.
The spiritual setting is offered as a space for experience and discovery, respecting each person's individual journey, with no requirement for religious affiliation.
It is entirely possible to go on a retreat alone at a monastery or abbey. This type of individual retreat offers a time of silence and personal withdrawal, without a specific group program.
Guests generally have access to simple accommodation and an environment conducive to introspection, while sharing certain communal moments that are part of monastic life.
A spiritual retreat at an abbey unfolds according to the rhythm of the place and the community that inhabits it. Retreatants are invited to follow a structured framework, marked by regular times of silence, prayer, and community life.
The day is generally punctuated by the Divine Office, personal time, and moments of rest, offering a stable environment conducive to recollection and meditation.
Monastic hospitality is freely given. In most places, accommodation is offered in return for a free contribution towards costs, and each community gives an indication to help you decide. Each guest contributes according to their means, and money should stop no one from coming. A stay also means helping a little with household tasks: making your bed, lending a hand with the washing up. Everything is explained in our article How much does a spiritual retreat cost?
