Section 4—Choosing a Retreat Centre

Choose a retreat centre that will accommodate your needs. Do you want to prepare your own meals or have them prepared? Do you wish to eat alone or in the company of others? What types of activities do you want to participate in (hiking, swimming)? Do you want to participate in community worship at the retreat centre? Do you want to meet with a spiritual director? Find out about the scheduled activities during your time on retreat. If you are seeking a place for silence and solitude, a retreat centre that focuses on highly interactive events will not be suitable for your needs.

For local retreat centres, Google “retreat centres” and your area. You will likely find a suitable place that is conveniently located near you. Here is a list of retreat centres within driving distance of the Greater Toronto Area:
