a) discussion about the Refus Global and its effect on spiritual life in Quebec : Speakers Louise Gagné, Doug Throop & Dan Hayward

b) music workshop with well-known Quebec musician/composer Lambert

c) self-care and professional development

d) visioning of the movie ‘Vas-vers-toi – part 2 of Heureux Naufrage with discussion with the film directors.

e) lots of time for quiet reflection, singing and walks in nature

Food at the Manor is excellent, rooms are comfortable and cozy. Île Saint-Bernard is now a wildlife sanctuary where wild birds come to pick seeds in your hand and where the silence and presence of the Saint-Lawrence River create a moment of connection between Nature, us and God.

We sincerely hope that you will take advantage of this retreat which will bring you great spiritual benefits in order to keep up the Mission of Christ. Give yourself this moment of faith and replenishment: you will find spiritual growth, new happiness and serenity.
