The Wayfarers Bardo
Bardo means gap. It refers to the interval or intermediate space between two things. A sort
of landmark between the two. There is a decrease in one perception for the increasing of a new
reality. Life presents us with daily experiences of Bardo.
This retreat will assist an individual to become more mindful and contemplative in the moment
we call here and now!
Donnee Retreat
The Donnee were members of the laity who settled in Huronia and offered their lives in
service to God. Donnee comes from the root word donate. So quite literally a Donne
would donate their life to God.
Therefore a Donnee would live by a set of notions or conditions that would govern and shape
a way of life.
A Donnee Cote is a place of retreat for anyone who is truly looking for a return to a more
simple and rustic experience of life. A cote is translated to mean a small shed or shelter.
Therefore a Donnee Cote is a place where one goes to pray and fast alone in the presence
of God.
