Spiritual gatherings in Cappadocia

Around Göreme, soft volcanic rock was carved into cave churches, monasteries and whole underground cities. For centuries this landscape was used for retreat and hermitage, and the frescoed chapels of the Göreme valley still hold that stillness.

The sacred life of Cappadocia

History

Cappadocia was a centre of early Christianity; the Cappadocian Fathers — Basil the Great, Gregory of Nazianzus and Gregory of Nyssa — came from this region. Monastic communities carved chapels and cells into the rock, and the painted churches of Göreme date largely from the tenth to twelfth centuries.

Why it’s sacred

One of the earliest homes of Christian monastic life, where solitude, prayer and community were shaped by the land itself. Göreme National Park and the rock sites of Cappadocia are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

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 Cappadocia 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 Cappadocia. 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.
