Seminars and Retreats
We offer regular courses, seminars and retreats at rural locations in Brittany, France and Calabria, Italy and both settings provide relaxing and contemplative environments and a comfortable atmosphere.
Transfers to and from the Retreat Centre’s are available and are included in the price. In France, we are located just one hour from Saint Malo in Brittany from where foot passengers are collected and returned and where other available activities include French Tuition, visits to local attractions and some time at the beach, weather permitting.
The Italian retreat centre is located ninety minutes from Lamezia Terme International Airport from where guests are collected and returned. We also collect and return to Crotone Railway Station which is thirty minutes away and San Giovanni Coach Station which is fifteen minutes away and both have regular connections to Rome Termine and Tiburtina Stations.
Italian Tuition is also available along with trips to the golden sands and beach of the Ionian coast and also the cooler mountains with trips to the Lake District, both of which are within thirty minutes drive. The Italian Retreat Centre is set 900 Metres above sea level and is not recommended for people with walking infirmity or breathing difficulty.
Wheelchair Access
The two Retreat Centre’s have five double/twin bedrooms including one double en-suite with wheelchair access in France.
