Seven Day Silent Retreat


  • Magnificat Retreat Centre 60A Cross Creek Road Western Lake, Wellington Region, 5773 New Zealand (map)

For some of us the thought of spending seven days in silence with companions (apart from an evening discussion each day) is daunting, for others it is uplifting.

A retreat is being held at Magnificat in the Wairarapa, 30 Nov – 7 Dec 2025.

Currently the plan is for this retreat to be peer led, with :

  • 6-8 meditations a day,

  •        3-4 contemplative walks a day

  •       Daily office from the Bonnevaux Daily Prayer book

  • Group session for companioning and reflection on the planned readings each evening.

However, if there is sufficient interest from those who are new to a seven day retreat, the retreat will become an Intensive retreat which includes teaching and one-on-one spiritual companioning each day (rather than the group session in the evening).

Retreat Costs

The cost of this retreat will depend on whether it is peer-led or an intensive retreat with a dedicated leader. The range is $800-$900. Subsidies can be available on request.
