An Urban Monastic Day in Edinburgh
You’re invited to devote a day to prayer, rest, and silence.
A Local Day Retreat in Edinburgh on
Saturday 1 March 2025
Set aside this day to devote yourself fully to prayer. Step outside your normal rhythms, slow down, and pray with others in Edinburgh. You will receive everything you need to enjoy God’s presence and to explore different ways to pray. Together we will pray the Divine Office, partake in the Eucharist, and share a midday meal. The rest of your day lets you choose from a variety of silent prayer practices we’ve prepared for you.
