Imagine a place where the celestial and earthly dance together, where life unfolds like a blooming flower, where simply *being* is enough. A place where you move in harmony with the rhythm of existence, feeling the pulse of life beating through you.

EMPTINESS is the heart of this retreat. Our Silent Retreats invite you to STOP. Leave your stories behind, your worries at the door. No need to entertain or be entertained. This is a space for the simple things: the cool caress of water on your tongue, the gentle rustle of leaves in the garden, the quiet rhythm of your breath. A slow walk, one foot placing itself deliberately before the other, a heart overflowing with gratitude for the gifts of each day.

15:20 - 16:00: A window of opportunity, a space for shared experiences if the heart desires, to connect with others on a journey of inner peace.

16:00 - 18:30: The spirit of Assisi calls you forth. Venture out to explore the sacred places, steeped in history and whispers of faith, guided by the whispers of the ancient city.
