Retreat Centre
Established in 1957 upon our arrival in Kengeri, Asirvanam Benedictine Retreat Centre stands as one of Bangalore’s oldest retreat destinations. Originating from numerous requests for a sanctuary where individuals could reside alongside monks for prayer, our humble beginnings saw the creation of a small retreat house accommodating twenty guests. Over time, we expanded, erecting new buildings outfitted with well-appointed rooms.

Weekend Retreats
Benedictine retreat centers may offer themed retreats focused on specific topics such as mindfulness, forgiveness, grief, or discerning one’s vocation. These retreats provide opportunities for participants to explore and deepen their understanding of a particular aspect of spirituality or personal growth within a Benedictine framework.

Guided Retreats
Today, we offer guided retreats tailored for priests, nuns, seminarians, and laypersons alike. Nestled within the serene expanse of our hundred-acre monastery, our silent campus invites individuals to retreat into their own inner sanctum, fostering a deeper connection with the divine. The resonant Gregorian chants sung by our monks during the Divine Office imbue the atmosphere with a palpable spiritual energy.
