YOU'RE INVITED

For years, you have been the one holding space for others: teaching, guiding, praying, listening, and pouring out your energy so that others could encounter peace and healing presence of God.
This is an invitation for our leaders and alumni to “come to the well”.
A chance to slow down, spend time with Jesus, connect with others who understand the heart behind this work, and leave feeling refreshed and inspired for the season ahead. A space to rest, be encouraged, and receive.

The Abbey is unable to prepare special diet meals, but a refrigerator and microwave are available for guests who wish to bring their own food.
If you have dietary restrictions or food allergies, please plan ahead and contact us before registering with any questions about whether the meal arrangements will work for you.
What is it like to stay at a monastery?
We’ll be guests in a working Benedictine monastery, where quiet is part of daily life. We will ask that you help us honor that atmosphere by respecting the Abbey’s guidance around silence, conservative dress attire and being considerate of the monks and other guests.
Candles and incense are not permitted in guest rooms.
