Fr Laurence’s theme will be ‘Pleroma’ the New Testament word for the fullness of being in Christ which grows in us. This will also be a gracefilled time to meet some of our meditators from the UK.

The retreat offers yoga sessions. You may bring comfortable clothes for yoga but no need to bring any equipment.

Each day offers you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the contemplative rhythm of life we live at Bonnevaux in the beauty and silence of the natural surroundings of the 80 hectare park in which Bonnevaux is situated. All our events taking place at Bonnevaux offer an opportunity to discover the rich cultural and historical French and European heritage of the 12th-century Abbaye de Bonnevaux, as well as to explore the varied and natural beauty of the land which we cultivate as a model of ecological responsibility.
