Spiritual gatherings in Assisi

Assisi is the birthplace of St Francis and St Clare, and the hill town still carries their call to peace and simplicity. Pilgrims come to the Basilica of San Francesco, the chapel of San Damiano and the hermitage on Monte Subasio, where Francis went to pray.

The sacred life of Assisi

History

Francis gave up his wealth here in the early thirteenth century and gathered the brothers who became the Franciscan order; Clare founded the order of the Poor Clares. The Basilica of San Francesco, with its frescoes of the saint’s life, was built soon after his death.

Why it’s sacred

The home of one of Christianity’s most beloved saints — a patron of peace and of all creation. In 1986 Assisi hosted the first interfaith World Day of Prayer for Peace, and the town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Questions about practising in Assisi

Do I need to book, or can I turn up?
Book. Rooms have limited capacity and the free evenings often fill faster than the paid ones, because nothing is risked by registering.
I've never been to anything like this — is that okay?
Look for the first-timer mark. Every listing that carries it has answered the questions a newcomer is afraid to ask. Plenty in Assisi are made for a first visit.
What if the price is the obstacle?
Many gatherings here are free, and some facilitators offer a sliding scale — pay what you can, no questions asked, and no one sees what you chose.
How do I hear about new dates?
Follow a facilitator and you're told when they open something in Assisi. No other notification is sent unless you ask for it.
Is everything in person?
No — some gatherings are held online, and each listing names its format and, for online ones, the time zone.
