Meditation Retreat in Assisi

Join us for six days and five nights in the heart of Assisi, Italy, a place of pilgrimage and peace for centuries.

Our small-group retreats offer a gentle rhythm of heart-centered meditation, contemplative walks to the sacred places of Saint Francis and Saint Clare, shared time, and spacious afternoons for rest and exploration. There is time to wander Assisi’s ancient streets, sit quietly in a chapel or garden, enjoy a café, or simply receive the atmosphere of this remarkable hilltop town.

No previous meditation experience is necessary

We are an inclusive community and warmly welcome people of all faiths and backgrounds.

Your Retreat

Each day unfolds with a gentle rhythm of meditation, contemplative walks, spacious time for rest, and opportunities to experience Assisi in your own way.

Mornings begin with breakfast followed by meditation and a gentle walk to one of Assisi’s sacred sites. Along the way, we may pause in chapels, gardens, olive groves, and other quiet places connected with the lives of Saint Francis and Saint Clare.

Afternoons include another meditation and may include a second contemplative walk, along with spacious time to rest or explore Assisi on your own. Evenings bring us together again for meditation and quiet reflection. The exact rhythm may vary with the weather, the needs of the group, and the natural flow of the retreat.

Retreats are conducted in English and welcome guests from around the world.
