Cathar Spirit Retreat

The spirit of the Bonhommes is alive and well, constantly adapting itself to new generations and fresh spiritual insights. As it is known that there were Cathars in our neighbouring commune of Piuro it is also conceivable that Catari Perfetti  may have even travelled this way. Our pure mountain air and wide skies are certainly conducive to introspection and re-dedication and so this retreat focuses on personal vocation and spiritual direction with pathworking using the Cathar Tarot as well as study of the neo-Cathar teachings of Antonin Gadal. The devotions at this retreat include the Chaplet of the Seven Signs (Johannine), the Temple Mass with readings from the Gnostic Scriptures and the traditional Cathar Rites of the Apparellamentum and Consolamentum. Other initiations and ordinations also possible.
