Individual Retreats

Saint John's offers two kinds of individual retreats throughout the year: private or directed. You choose the dates, the length, and the kind you want.

Private retreats provide solitude for rest, reading, reflection and prayer. If you wish, you may join the monks for prayer. Meals are served in the Abbey Guesthouse dining room.

Directed retreats provide the private retreat experience plus regular one-to-one conversation with a spiritual director.

Special suggested offerings for six-day directed retreats:

To reserve a room in the Abbey Guesthouse for an individual retreat, contact the abbey guest master at 320-363-3929 or register online.

Please specify if you wish to meet with a spiritual director when you register for your room.
