Situated in Plettenberg Bay, jewel of the Garden Route, 200 metres from the sea, BENEDICTUS DEUS RETREAT CENTRE is located in an ideal place to relax, reflect on life and get in touch with your true nature. Enjoy privacy, peace and tranquillity. Indulge your soul with a healthy holiday. Make space in your life for spirit.
Blessed be the longing that brought you here
and quickens your soul with wonder.
May you have the courage to listen to the voice of desire
that disturbs you when you have settled for something safe.
May you have the wisdom to enter generously into your own unease
to discover the new direction your longing wants you to take.
May the forms of your belonging - in love, creativity and friendship
be equal to the grandeur and the call of your soul.
May the one you long for long for you.
May your dreams reveal the destination of your desire.
May Providence guide your thoughts and nurture your feelings.
May you come to accept your longing as divine urgency.
May you know the urgency with which God longs for you.
