Silent Retreat at the New Camaldoli Hermitage in Big Sur, CA October 15-17, 2025

Manley and I took a five hour drive from Oxnard, CA up to Big Sur on the gorgeous California coast to stay two nights at the New Camaldoli Hermitage. This was Manley’s second visit and my third. The weather was spectacular, the time with God profound and restorative. I hope giving you a glimpse into our few days enjoying the silence away from everything might inspire you to consider doing the same sometime. ‪@newcamaldolihermitage‬ #silentretreat #practicingtheway
