Retreat for those in their 20s & 30s
17th - 19th April
Each retreatant has their own retreat guide or ‘spiritual director’ with whom you meet each day, and who will help you to focus, reflect and discern. The retreats at St Beuno’s are based on the Spiritual Exercises and the Ignatian tradition. The beautiful, rural setting of St Beuno’s provides a still and sacred place that is conducive to prayer. These retreats are held in silence. There is celebration of the Eucharist and half-an-hour of Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament for communal silent prayer period available each day. Please arrive between 2.30pm and 4.30pm to have time to settle in. The retreat finishes about 3pm on the Sunday.
Suggested offering for all rooms at the subsidised rate of £98 for the 2 days. Learn more
