Retreat Days & Spiritual Exercises
ECYD Riding Camp
Up on the horse – and into the adventure! Every day you'll get in the saddle for 45 minutes of riding lessons. In the evenings, we will deepen our Catholic faith together: What truly makes you free? What do the Ten Commandments have to do with your life? And what does God have to do with it all? As a special highlight, we will rehearse a play together and perform it for the residents of a nursing home – love of neighbor in action.

Prayer connects us with the eternal Creator God and Jesus Christ. Praying is an art. During these days, we will get to know the tools, use various forms of prayer, and deepen our own prayer life. What does praying achieve? Do men pray differently? How does prayer change? Limited number of participants. Start: Thursday, 5:00 PM. End: Sunday, 3:00 PM. Costs: Accommodation and catering: Double room: 295,-€. Single room: 310,-€. (Students and trainees each 36,-€ less). Participation fee: 50,-€. Questions?
