Let’s Plant Seeds of Hope and Peace!

There is force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results. – Mahatma Gandhi –

This six-day contemplative retreat allows the space and opportunity to “hear” and “experience” the force in the Universe calling us; permitting “a spirit to be infused into us from on high; allowing our deserts to become gardens… (Isaiah 32:15) enabling us to plant seeds of Peace and Hope in our fragile world. Pope Leo reminds us that: “Only a contemplative gaze can change our relationship with created things and lead us out of the ecological crisis caused by the rupture of relationships—with God, with our neighbour, and with the earth” (Pope Leo 09 July 2025). So, let’s plant seeds of Hope and Peace! Among resources used this week will be Laudate Si and Laduate Deum.

Who is it for?
