This unique meditation retreat in Assisi Italy allows us to soak in it’s peace and sacred presence.   Honoring all background and faiths, we offer an intimate one of a kind experience. Each retreat period is six days and five nights. Exploring the hidden treasures, gardens, and chapels of this ancient hilltop town, brings us closer to the simple peace that St. Francis and St. Clare found.  We attract a contemplative community of people seeking inner peace and happiness.  No meditation experience necessary.  We will share the stories from the lives of St Francis and St Clare which reveals their rich inner journey.  Each one of our teachers enriches the retreats with their lifelong dedication to spiritual practice.

General Daily Program ~

Meditation at 9am and 3 pm followed by a gentle walk to a sacred location with meditation on site. We close with a meditation around 6 pm each day.  Our general daily program is adjusted according to the weather and ease of program.  We are walking with Francis & Clare as if we were their brother & sister friars, while each connecting to our own personal retreat. Their message is timeless and still speaks to us today.

Breakfast is followed by sitting meditation and mindful walks (interspersed throughout the day) to the sacred chapels, gardens or into the surrounding forrests of Assisi.
