Spiritual Enrichment
The Main Office often receives requests from OCDS communities and other Carmelite/Catholic organizations to advertise programs, retreats, pilgrimages, etc. – virtual or otherwise. We do not have the time to vet each of these groups nor the offerings, so have decided to simply provide links to these resources.
Disclaimer: Posting of a link does not constitute or imply, in any way, an endorsement of the offering by the Main Office.
Use at your discretion.
If your community would like to advertise an upcoming event, please click here to contact the Main Office a month in advance. All requests for posting are subject to approval by the Provincial Delegate.

CITeS “University of Mystics” (Madrid, Spain)
The Teresiano-Sanjuanista International Center (CITeS) - "Universidad de la Mística" is a formative institution whose mission is to contribute to the spiritual, academic, and cultural formation of those who approach it. It seeks to promote research in the field of mysticism and promote dialogue between the mystical phenomenon and the sciences that directly affect personal and social human existence. All this, having as a fundamental reference the experience of Saint Teresa of Jesus and Saint John of the Cross.
