Spiritual exercises, or exercises, take place here in the form of several dozen courses a year lasting from two to eight days. We try to be available to both complete beginners and advanced users. Therefore, in the program of the monastery, you will find courses of introduction to meditation and prayer, Ignatian exercises, contemplative exercises, film exercises, exercises using the enneagram and others. As far as the program of specific courses allows, we try to offer space for individual accompaniment in personal conversations.

​

The former Capuchin monastery, which in recent years has become a center of spirituality and spiritual exercises, was previously run by the Jesuit order together with the Prague Academic Parish and the religious sisters from the Prague Carmel of Edith Steinová. Now the baton has been taken over by the newly founded entity Kolínský klášter - center of spirituality and spiritual exercises, z.ú., founded by the Czech Christian Academy. His goal is to continue the work he has started and develop it further. There is no permanent community of monks living in the monastery, instead we create an environment for spiritual practice.

​

Our principle is to accompany people on their personal spiritual journey towards greater depth, sincerity and tolerance. Our identity is Christian, but the courses are open to all sincere seekers regardless of their faith.
