Fr. Robert Nixon, OSB
The principles of monastic life include focus, perseverance, patience, and self-discipline. These are values which run counter to our mainstream culture, where self-indulgence, distraction, and rush are very much the norm. Yet these lead to a dissipation of strength and energy, and ultimately a loss of happiness, independence and freedom. This weekend retreat will explore how the principles of monastic living can be applied to everyday life, to harness your inner strength, and achieve resilience, success and contentment.
The first session for all Weekends Retreats begins at 7:30pm on the Friday. Participants are encouraged to attend Vespers at 6:30pm, followed by dinner, if possible. The final session for each weekend will conclude at 11:30am on the Sunday.i
