This community experience, within the natural beauty of Stella Maris, will offer you an opportunity to experience meditation, silence, simplicity, peace and inner stillness, to enrich your spirit and enliven your faith.

The silent retreat will be led by Korko Moses, a Jesuit priest from India who founded Dhyanavanam, an Ashram in India inspired by both Christian & Eastern spiritual traditions.

He is a spiritual guide, counsellor, teaches meditation and yoga, leads retreats, and has worked with people with addictions. He also offers spiritual guidance for the L’Arche communities.
