The Art of Spiritual Guidance

PLACE

The Program takes place at one of the most beautiful canals in Amsterdam: De Brouwersgracht. The Centre is called Centrum de Kleine Swaen (meaning 'The Little Swan') which is the name of the XVIIth century warehouse it is located in. You can stay overnight there (very simple, in the group-room; there are mattresses and blankets, no sheets, a simple shower) for 10 euro a night. The retreats (once a year) will take place somewhere in the countryside.
