Such a structure allows attendees to experience a profound inner stillness and peace, emerging from the weekend feeling rejuvenated and more connected with their inner selves.

The retreat setting at Minsteracres, with its tranquil environment and natural beauty, further enhances this experience, making it an ideal place for personal reflection and community bonding.
