Assisi
Master the art of coming home to yourself with St. Francis and St. Clare whose courageous lives embody authenticity and purpose. Experience self-reconciliation in the sanctuary of La Verna, where the profound silence is broken once a day by the chiming of church bells calling pilgrims to the procession — a tradition held for almost 600 years. Let the solemn songs of the friars wash over you as they guide you to the exact spot where Francis first received his stigmata. Feel yourself being embraced by divine presence in Hermitage Carceri, nestled in the tranquil woodland on Mount Subasio. Find peace in the secluded forest chapel where St. Francis came to pray. Experience an ocean of mercy through the inspiring stories of St. Clare, the divine feminine companion of Francis. Enter the cloister and feel Clare’s spiritual light emanating from the former bedchamber where she received her ecstatic visions. This soulful retreat offers a balm for modern-day mystics who desire a meaningful, spirit-filled life.
