Taizé Retreat Center:
Taizé is located in France, a bus ride from Paris. Accommodations there are rustic, with dormitory style life, sleeping in tents. Pilgrims sleep on their own bedrolls. Food, showers, and other accommodations are very simple. Special diet requests can not be accommodated.
Pilgrims must carry their own clothing, supplies, air mattresses and sleeping bags. There will be no use of electrical appliances. We will sleeping in large tents.
Daily routines will include worship, Bible study, prayer, silence, reflection, faith sharing, camp chores, and fellowship with 5,000 pilgrims from around the world.
The Experience:
Coming to Taizé is an opportunity to seek communion with God through common prayer, singing, personal reflection and sharing. Everyone is here to discover or rediscover a meaning for their life and to find a new vitality. Being in Taizé is also a preparation for taking on responsibilities back at home with a view to being bearers of peace and trust.
As you arrive at Taizé, you are welcomed by a community of brothers who have made a lifelong commitment to follow Christ in common life and celibacy, in simplicity of life. The GNJAC goal of the pilgrimage is to discover new depths of faith that enable us to make disciples for Jesus Christ who are committed to a world-wide connectional sharing of the gospel, in word and deed.
