PATHWAYS TO PEACE RETREAT 2026

Retreats are opportunities to get away to a beautiful, quiet location with like-minded people and savour God’s presence in a fresh way. No two people’s experiences on retreats are the same, yet we know the Spirit gently, lovingly leads each of us us on a ‘pathway to peace.’

*ACCESSIBILITY: The Mount Allison campus site locations require travelling between a few rows of buildings and crossing a street. There is a moderate grade uphill. Parking is free and plentiful, however the spots available around the immediate facilities are limited. All accommodation buildings have elevators. A small two-seater shuttle is available.    

Over three days, retreatants pray, listen, reflect, and learn in a bright, comfortable environment, with good food and walking trails. Small‑group table conversations help deepen awareness of God’s loving presence and invite exploration of deepening faith.
