The Retreat Centre: Transforming society by transforming the individual
We Believe
Living is an art that is learned and developed.
Today, we live in an environment that can easily lead us astray and leave us feeling overwhelmed by the stress of everyday life.
With an ever more demanding professional life and sometimes tumultuous relationships, we all need a moment of serenity and a period of calm to help us rest our spirit and approach life in a purposeful way.
