What is a Retreat?
A retreat is governed by sacred time, which is the recognition of the obedience due to a unitive idea. The following of a definite pattern to the day promotes order and harmony, which in turn gives rise to a real inner peace. Retreat restores the soul and provides a way of life that can be followed at all times.
Companionship with those whose deepest interests are similar to one’s own is also valuable, and may enable participants to receive a clearer perspective of life and to develop a fuller capacity for the service of the Ideal.
Each day includes the celebration of short contemplative rites and philosophical discussion. The timetable allows for solitude as well as for companionship, for recreation as well as for study.
We will eat together in the Akrimios restaurant, with its spectacular views over Souda Bay. There will be readings from suitable inspirational works at breakfast and lunch.
