Coming to Taize means being welcomed by a community that has been inspired by two aims:
1. To seek communion with God through prayer
2. To be a leaven of peace and trust in the midst of the human family.
Through common prayer, singing, silence and personal meditation, a stay in Taize can help us rediscover the presence of God in our lives and an inner peace, a reason for living or new impetus.

With prayer three times a day, reflection on the wellsprings of faith and work for others, a week in Taize allows us to think over our everyday life in the light of the Gospel.
Each day, brothers of the community lead times of reflection on a biblical theme. These are followed by a moment of silence and then small group sharing. The groups are formed by age.
The afternoon workshops give an in depth look at the relationship between faith and life, at work, solidarity, questions concerning society, art and culture, building peace.....
A week or the last three days of the week can be spent in silence. This gives more time for listening to how God is speaking in our lives.
