OPTIONAL CONTINUATION FOR 3 MORE DAYS: July 2-5 2026
Because Lioba (where the small group retreat will take place) cannot accommodate us past Thursday after the lunch, Saki is planning to move to the Adelbert Abdij (which is about 20 minutes walk away) in Egmond Binnen on that afternoon until Sunday - so this would be an additional 3 nights. For this, you would only have to pay for the daily visitor rate at the Abdij (€70,- p.d. including single room and towels/sheets). This would give you the opportunity to go deeper into your retreat on your own. However, it is good to know that this is an active monastery - so we will be having lunch with the monks daily. It would also be good to show up once in awhile for their worship services. I will talk to everyone about this who has already registered.
For your individual retreat, we will only meet together for a short time after morning worship service to talk about how you might use the day for your own individual process. Saki will not be giving individual Sufi practices for this. Those who might be continuing at home can call in on ZOOM when we are meeting together, or if you are staying in the neighborhood, you can come to this meeting in person.
We regret that there can be no more people at the Abdij at this time.
