Rains Retreat 2024 – General Practice Weeks

We welcome you to join us for a one-week or two-week retreat to practice alongside our residential community during our annual 90-day Rains Retreat.

Arrival days are Fridays, and you may register to stay for one or two weeks (Oct 11th – Dec 20th 2024), departing on the Friday one or two weeks later.

During general practice week(s), retreatants mostly join the activities of the residential community. There are also sessions adapted for retreatants who are new to the practice. The programs are different from the large themed retreats.

Further Information

This year we welcome single women and couples to join the sisters for a one-week or two-week retreat in New Hamlet & Lower Hamlet.

Upper Hamlet (for single men) will not host short-term stays during most of the Rains Retreat except for during Christmas & New Year 2024/2025. This means that single men will only be able to register for the Christmas and New Year retreats during the Rains Retreat period.

Please note: Christmas & New Year 2024/2025 will open for registration later on October 1st on a separate page.
