So right from the beginning, just arriving here at Bonnevaux is a space that is embraced by creation and right from the first moment of arriving, I felt so much peace and an energy of a special place.
It could be anywhere, surrounded by nature, but here you can feel it – when you arrive here of how much things are made in communion with creation, creation is really a part of this place.
And the theme for this retreat being care and the different dimensions of care for oneself, for others, for us as part of creation, has been really an extraordinary gift. And to be able to not only see it from my own personal journey, which is it is a theme I’ve been reflecting about a lot, but also hearing from other young people from different places and different journeys, different countries is been a very rich experience.
And to be able to have this experience in communion with creation has been really beautiful.
