Personal Retreats
making time for quiet reflection, gentle conversations, and prayer
Monasteries and Retreats
Over the centuries, women and men have looked to monasteries as places to regain their bearings. Sometimes people want a private retreat, so we provide an environment that invites you to relax and be at home.
You may want a retreat in which you have the chance to talk with a spiritual director, someone who will listen with you to the questions that are important for your well-being.
There is really no set pattern. What is needed is the desire for time and space and the courage to be still and listen to where your heart leads.

Create Your Own Sabbatical
Working with a member of the staff, people design a sabbatical tailored to their needs and interests. Sabbaticals generally last from one month to a year. Participants live within the monastery, share in prayer and meals with the monastic community, and draw on the abundant resources of the Twin Cities metropolitan community. |
