What is the Dominican Activities Centre?

The little town of Huissen lies in the 'Betuwe' between Arnhem and Nijmegen, not far from the Dutch-German border. The Dominican Monastery with its Centre of Activities (DAC) stands on the dyke near the banks of the Rhine. The old building is popular with concerns liking to hold their meetings and give instruction undisturbed. Young people find their way to the Youth Centre 'Onder de Pannen' ('Safety under cover') in the former monastery bakery/laundry. The monastery community (11 persons) regularly receives guests who wish for a time of reflection and leave their fax-machines, laptops and mobile phones behind. In addition the DAC offers courses in the field of questions relating to philosophy and meaning of life.

If you wish further information about the courses offered please contact by telephone or in writing:
