Bonnevaux Retreat Programme
Our new programme features a variety of retreats – liturgical retreats to support your spiritual journey through prayer, worship, and reflection during Holy Week and Advent led by our spiritual guide Laurence Freeman OSB;  a Deep Silent Retreat to join with others to go to a deeper and simpler place in solitude; retreats for those who’ve just started their personal journey with meditation and retreats to deepen your meditation practice. We will also have a special retreat for the younger meditators which will be an opportunity to reflect on and deepen our self-care so that we can better care for others. Â
Join us in the peaceful and beautiful surroundings of Bonnevaux for a unique retreat experience to discover the transformative power of meditation and connect with a community of like-minded meditators.Â

Embark on a journey of transformation. Delve into the wisdom of visionaries, from medieval mystics to modern poets, who have glimpsed the “whole” amidst our fragmented world.

Welcome to WCCM Academy
We are growing as a community of meditators in more than 100 countries, committed to developing a contemplative Christian life for our time and to dialogue between religion, science, business and art, body and mind. At the heart of this community is the meeting of many weekly groups, both physically and online, which introduce the essential teaching of meditation and help to deepen the inner journey. Personal transformation leads then to social and global transformation.
