All retreats at Ecclesia of Burning Ones takes place in milieu of  a monastic style where we encourage a peaceful, quiet environment for intentional, focused contemplation upon Jesus - upon the union of love or the gaze of faith; of turning a loving, simple and permanent attentiveness of the mind and the heart  to divine things.

​

If desired, we offer a short training/teaching on the prayer of silence or contemplative prayer.

"You rest in the continuous inward act of abiding.  It is a sweet sinking into deity". ~ Madame Guyon
