Welcome To Paradise is a 5-day Christian festival in a heavenly place.
It is a cocktail that has proven itself over the past 10 years, an à la carte festival where you can choose each day between twenty or so proposals: sports, conferences, spiritual time, sharing, relaxation, etc.
There are also many powerful moments, parties, music, worship and celebration throughout the week.
Welcome To Paradise is for people of faith as well as for those who are more distant from their faith.
The objective of the festival is to allow everyone to recharge their batteries, make
authentic encounters and live a meaningful life.

Do you want to take advantage of Hautecombe Abbey to live a spiritual retreat? Throughout the summer, in parallel with the Festival, it is possible to live the Saint Ignatius Course. It is an Ignatian retreat in silence, with daily accompaniment and teaching, but also with the possibility
of attending the worskhops and evenings of the Festival in order to nourish your prayer.

A silent retreat is the perfect time to dare the quiet to be able to listen better.
Young people between 18 and 30 years old who seek to better listen to God’s Word.
TEACHING & SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE
A whole week, completely in silence, to be attentive to the Lord, and welcome God’s plan for today.
A time of spiritual guidance every day to learn to recognize God’s voice.

Families are very important to us. Unfortunately we are not able to welcome them at the festival site.
During Welcome To Paradise, accommodation is in tents, camping at Hautecombe Abbey. Access to the campsite with showers and toilets is included in the registration fee. You can rent your tent at 15€/week on site (reservation required) or bring your own tent.
Food is included in the registration fee (breakfast, lunch and evening). In the afternoon and evening, Kawaco offers some extras (drinks and food) which are at the expense of the festival goers.
All the highlights in the tent are translated into several languages. Every workshop is translated at least into English and often into other languages. We have translation booths that broadcast on certain frequencies. You can bring a radio to listen.
For activities, you will always find someone who speaks your language and who can translate for you.
All young people between 18 and 30 years old are welcome. The diversity of our cultures, churches and sensibilities is a strength.
Each half day is “à la carte”. You can choose between 3 or 4 workshops, sports and time for relaxation and prayer. We also have daily times for the word of God in the morning, at noon and in the evening. You can check the speakers here.
