"It was one of those experiences that you live on for the rest of your life. The combination of scenery – simplicity of living – silence – gentle companionship – beauty and hospitality – and so much more there is not room for – made it a profound spiritual experience."
Adventure into Silence with Sara Maitland
Places rich in religious history have drawn pilgrims for centuries. We offer a chance to journey in the footsteps of those who have been before us, to re-discover historical routes, witness Biblical scenes and experience the timeless traditional way of travel, whether on foot, by camel or mule. We can organise journeys not only to monasteries and known sites, but also to special and out-of-the-way places.
Our desert retreats offer a chance to spend time in the wilderness, for those seeking solitude and quiet contemplation. The unique power of the desert silence, the beauty of its open spaces, the opportunity for reflection and time for discussion combine to create a unique and enriching experience. Based in carefully chosen and remote desert valleys, our retreats offer a rare opportunity to get away from the pressures of modern life. We are always happy to help and discuss spiritual and theological input.
Join us on our Sinai Wellbeing and Arts Retreat, or to organise a private retreat or pilgrimage, contact us for an information pack.
