2 days to enter into the experience of life at Carmel. It's a weekend of prayer and silence to:
- Come to the desert, rest your heart in silence
- Place yourself in a position to listen to the Lord
- If you wish, be accompanied 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.
