None of us should be indifferent to anything happening in any part of our planet - especially not to suffering, because this links us most closely with our fellow human beings. A special characteristic of the Caux conferences is the communal life of the assembly. Participants are invited to join communities of between twelve and twenty people in which topics can be discussed in an atmosphere of confidence and mutual respect. This offers everyone a chance to serve, as well as to learn from one another and from a higher wisdom through quiet reflection. Everyone is requested to be sensitive to the presence of people from different cultures and generations, and to respect the house rules.
Families are welcome.
The programme includes meetings, seminars, lectures and cultural evenings, with simultaneous translation. There are also opportunities for outdoor exercise. Looking out over Lake Geneva from an altitude of 1,000 metres, the centre can accommodate up to 450 people. Formerly the Caux-Palace Hotel, in 1946 it became an international meeting place, thanks to the generous contributions in time, talent and money of many volunteers. Everyone can have a part.
