We invite women between the ages of 20 and 40 who are exploring their vocation in life and are wondering whether religious life is a path for them to live with us for a while.

The rhythm of prayer and work, shared meals, encounters and discussions, information about religious life and spiritual impulses, but also silence and time for yourself determine the course of these days.

The costs for accommodation and meals are agreed individually. Financial reasons should not stand in the way of a stay. We recommend seven days for a first stay.

To Risks and side effects of the temporary convent, Sister Julia Maria can say something. She has also been living in our convent since autumn 2014.
