Personal Retreats

A private retreat at San Damiano offers an individual the opportunity to step away from the busy world and refresh/renew body, mind and spirit.

Experience respite for one or several nights. We will provide your meals while you focus on your spiritual sustenance.  Read, reflect, write, meditate in the courtyard garden, experience the labyrinth or walking the path of the Stations of the Cross.  Spiritual Direction is also available.
