Monastery of the Holy Spirit, Conyers

A lovely, peaceful place to walk, sit, meditate, enjoy the outdoors. There is parking access to the PATH nearby, as well as a gift shop, bakery and small museum about the history of the property. Regardless of your religious persuasion, there is something to glean here at this welcoming facility.

We’ve wanted to stop by here many times, but because we aren’t Catholic, we hesitated, not knowing what to expect. I very much regret hesitating now, it’s such a lovely and inviting space. We visited the visitors center, the museum (watch the video, totally worth the 30 minutes!) the gift store and the cafe. In every space there were monks working along lay people, the feeling was just so serene, and comfortable. It was raining the day were stopped by, so we couldn’t walk over to the church, or the retreat buildings, but this weekend we are going back.
