A 30-day Carmelite retreat through Las Moradas — bilingual Spanish & English, with Teresa's silent prayer and five more retreats for the year that follows.
INTERIOR CASTLE — A YEAR WITH SAINT TERESA OF ÁVILA
A bilingual Catholic devotional rooted in Las Moradas, Saint Teresa of Ávila's masterwork on the soul as a castle of crystal with seven mansions. Built with the care that sacred texts deserve.
—
THE 30-DAY RETREAT
Walk the seven mansions over thirty days, six gentle steps each day: a verse, a reading, the Quietud (Teresa's prayer of quiet), a colloquy, and a closing reflection. About twenty-five minutes a day, at your own hour. You set the pace.
The text is Teresa's autograph 1577 Spanish, paired with the Stanbrook Abbey 1911 English translation — both public-domain Catholic patrimony.
—
THE QUIETUD
Teresa's oración de quietud, drawn from Camino de Perfección chapters 26 through 29 and Las Moradas IV: not breathwork, not generic meditation — just looking at the Christ who looks at you ("Mira que te mira"). Five to fifteen minutes of silence, with a rotating Teresian anchor word for each session.
—
YEAR-LONG, NOT THIRTY DAYS
After the first walk through the castle, five more retreats unfold across the year:
• El Camino — through The Way of Perfection
• Con María — Marian devotion in Teresa's voice
• Los Carmelitas — the great Carmelite saints
• Los Salmos — the psalms Teresa prayed
• Año con Teresa — a slow year through her letters
You can also re-walk the castle as many times as you wish.
—
BILINGUAL — SPANISH & ENGLISH
You choose which language leads; the other stays visible underneath. Teresa's mansion names, source citations, and traditional prayers (the Salve, the Sub Tuum, the Padre Nuestro) stay in Spanish either way — because that is what she wrote.
—
