Prayer and service
This summer, we are offering you a rich and completely new experience: the ORA & LABORA weeks.
These weeks are an invitation to live an enriching time to find renewal and grow in your faith. Whether you are a regular retreatant or simply looking for a meaningful break this summer, the ORA & LABORA weeks are made for you. ORA & LABORA is the perfect balance, inspired by the rhythm of an abbey, to help you (re)center yourself:
- ORA (Prayer): Times of liturgy and prayer to find renewal and bring a spiritual breath to your day.
- LABORA (Service): A concrete and varied commitment where you put your hands and your talents at the service of community life and the activities of the abbey.
For young adults aged 18 to 35.

At the heart of an abbey's rhythm of life, this week will give you a taste of the perfect balance between prayer (liturgy, silence, praise...) and service alongside the Communauté du Chemin Neuf.
Times of formation will also punctuate the week to help you refocus on what truly matters!
- The nearest train station is the SNCF station of Culoz.
- We will send you the practical details and schedule as the retreat approaches.
- On-site accommodation is in solid-built facilities.
- Remember to bring your own sheets or sleeping bag.
