Wellness holiday: spiritual retreat on the Gargano

For those looking for a real wellness retreat, we suggest a weekend organized by the “seeds of light project” in Monte Sant’Angelo. This village in the province of Foggia is a very spiritual place, a pilgrimage destination for thousands of years, and the aim of the experience is to bring you to know the essence of Monte Sant’Angelo through moments of recollection, with prayers and meditations in places rich in beauty, spiritual and natural. During the stay you can visit the Abbey of Santa Maria di Pulsano, rich in 24 hermitages, with a breathtaking view of the gulf where you can benefit from so much peace and tranquillity; the Chapel of the Madonna degli Angeli, a suggestive and hidden place; The wood near the abbey. It is a real spiritual experience that focuses on the power of the Archangel Michael who, for the uninitiated, appeared right here in Monte Sant’Angelo. The organizers define it as

“a wonderful experience of spiritual nourishment and inner regeneration, in the joy of being together!”
