Great, peaceful place! Danielle – Ontario

Maybe the best centre for retreat ever for me, and I’ve been to many over the years. Thank you so much.

It was an excellent program and very inclusive of RC and Protestants, e.g. at the common table.

A beautiful, serene place.

This trip around the Galilee Labyrinth is the most beautiful meditation experience I’ve ever lived. Thank you for allowing me to live that experience.

I can’t express in words how much I enjoy your hospitality, wonderful accommodation, and especially the wonderful fellowship from staff and participants.

What beautiful energy! Namaste.

I will be telling others about the Galilee Centre, spreading the word about the peace and relaxation I was able to enjoy here. Thank you!

There is a little piece (peace) of heaven for me every time I come up. Tranquility.

I especially appreciate the care and careful planning of my special diet. I have never been fed so well! Bless you.

It’s obvious to me that this land has been dearly loved for centuries. Please tell your donors that a retreat centre like Galilee Centre is a necessity in our modern world.
