Retreat in New Norcia

A 2 day retreat held at the Benedictine Monastery at New Norcia with Senior Iyengar teacher Caroline Coggins

What do we retreat to and why a monastery? New Norcia is a place of silence, discipline and prayer where all activities have a start time and finishing time, where community is the heart of monastic practice and love becomes a means of being in the world. We come as outsiders welcomed into this world for a few days to experience the peace of the hospitality offered.

Our everyday lives are fuller and here we can take respite in simplicity and focus. You may come with religious affiliation or none, but the retreat is offered as a way to journey to the stillness, and to find time through your own practice, a way to breathing the silence.

The retreat timetable will work around the hours of the monastic community and there is the opportunity for those who would like to share their rhythms. For others there is time to enjoy the peace and tranquility of this amazing environment as well as the excellent vegetarian food by Tig.

Accommodation will be at the Old Convent. Most rooms are shared. Linen is provided but bring a towel and your own yoga props.
