"Flos Carmeli" weekend

Reserve my spot

Discover the life of Carmelites in Normandy!

2 days to enter into the experience of life at Carmel. This is a weekend of prayer and silence to:

  • Come to the desert, rest your heart in silence
  • Open yourself to listening to the Lord
  • If you wish, receive guidance for discernment.

"Flos Carmeli" are the opening words of the traditional prayer to Our Lady of Mount Carmel, recited by all Carmelite friars and nuns.

This prayer will guide you throughout your discernment weekend.

  • introduction to mental prayer, lectio divina, and inhabited silence

  • a meeting with the sisters and time for manual work if you wish.

  • Lunch and dinner provided on-site.
