Description

The retreat starts with dinner on the first day followed by a short welcome and the first meeting. There will be two meetings on each full day, finishing with lunch on the final day. Morning meetings consist of silent and guided meditation; afternoon meetings are dialogues with Rupert.

The meetings will be simultaneously translated from English into Italiano and Espanol.

Accommodation

There are a few options to stay at Abbazia di Spineto.

There are two beautiful main buildings where the meetings will take place, Abazzia and Foresteria. These have single and twin rooms available. Please note that single rooms are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.


Also scattered through the grounds are several beautiful villas, all of which have twin or double rooms available to share, and each with its own outdoor swimming pool. Each villa has 8 to 12 beds so if you would like to share a villa with a specific group of friends please let Linda know. 

 

There is Wifi available in all public areas and access to hiking in the surrounding area.

 

There is also a very nice 4 star camp site nearby. If you wish to camp, please book below as a commuter and make your own camping arrangements. Please click here for further camping details.
