Create Your Own Sabbatical
Working with a member of the staff, people design a sabbatical tailored to their
needs and interests. Sabbaticals generally last from one month to a year. Participants
lives within the monastery, share in prayer and meals with the monastic community,
and draw on the abundant resources of the Twin Cities metropolitan community.
A Day Away
Parish staffs are invited to take advantage of our meeting spaces, which can accommodate
small and large groups, for a day of reflection, planning, and prayer. The cost
includes conference room, audio visual equipment, use of facilities and meals
as listed. See Rates. Private rooms are available for
overnight retreats. Expert
consultation for planning and/or facilitating meetings is available as well at
$50 per hour.
Group Retreats
Retreats for your parish or faith group can be scheduled at the Benedictine Center
or at your site. Members of our staff can offer days of prayer and renewal, including
instruction in centering prayer and lectio divina. Costs negotiated.

Walk the Labyrinth
Our seasonal labyrinth is available to you at any time. Since the middle ages many Christians have walked the labyrinth as a way to draw closer to God the the journey of life. An indoor finger labyrinth, available in the meditation chapel, is a meditation tool and is an extension of the larger labyrinth that is walked.
