Dear Friends,

Over the past year, we have shared a journey together through retreats, courses, contemplative practices, and seminars centered on the interior life and the Christian mystical tradition.

Some of you joined us in person, others online, and many came from different parts of the world. This has been a wonderful reminder of how widely shared the longing for a deep inner life truly is.

We have based our activities in beautiful places: abbeys, monasteries, hermitages, religious houses and medieval castles surrounded by silence and nature. These spaces have nurtured our community and allowed Città della Mistica to grow.

Now, we feel called to take a new step.

We are looking for a stable spiritual residence.

A stable and vibrant place that can become a space of silence, prayer, study, and hospitality, where we can continue offering retreats, courses, contemplative practices, and seminars.

We are seeking a place to nurture and bring to life: a monastery, convent, hermitage, or property immersed in nature that someone might wish to entrust to us.

Many places originally built for prayer risk being left empty or destined for other purposes. Our hope is to nurture such a place and help it remain a space for silence, inner exploration, and meaningful encounter.

We share this part of the journey with you.

If you know of a monastery, convent, hermitage, or property that could be entrusted to us for management, or have contacts or ideas worth exploring, we would be grateful to hear from you. Even a small suggestion could open a new path.

Thank you from the heart for supporting us and for any guidance or ideas you might share.

With joy,

Father Raffaele Di Muro and Beatrice Carafa d'Andria
