Spiritual Direction in the Christian tradition might be defined as the practice of listening with another in a prayerful relationship in order to more clearly hear and experience the movement of God in one’s life.

It is a way of extending a sustaining, welcoming environment within a one-on-one relationship. It is a dynamic process where one can listen to self in order to reflect on life's questions in light of our Gospel call.

Schedule

The person seeking direction shares stories of his or her encounters of the
divine, or how he or she is experiencing spiritual issues or relationships. It is a
dynamic process where one can listen to self in order to reflect on life's questions in light of our call.

What's Included

The
whole purpose of Spiritual Direction is to penetrate beneath the surface of a person's life, to get behind the facade of conventional gestures and attitudes which one presents to the world, and to bring out one's inner spiritual freedom, one's inmost trust...the likeness of Christ in one's soul.” Thomas Merton

Better than an Airbnb :)

I have been coming to St. Placid Priory & Spirituality Center for over a decade. It’s been a well of rest and refreshing. The moment I arrive, I feel at peace, grounded, and open to what my time here will be. Through the chaos and noise of everyday life, this is a place that has been healing and nourishing for my soul. There’s not many places that provide true respite, but I’ve been thankful to find that here.

I Love this Priory as well as the Spirituality Center. It is quiet, 'nestled in' and seems to welcome one right into that space. The facilities are well cared for and inviting.

It is felt that it is Christ Centered, Heart Centered...it's atmosphere cultivates contemplation yet brings forward a child like joy in all of the iconic art throughout both buildings. The Sisters and Staff provide the seriousness and intent of walking a true path, being respectful to those on such a journey, and providing an atmosphere where God is welcomed into whatever conversation may arise...internal and external.

I would best describe it as a Sacred Space to invite deeper reflection and inspiration.

Contemplative Retreat

I have been to St Placid Priory several times. It is so peaceful and welcoming. I always come away feeling rested and cared for. This last weekend in Lent was just what I needed to refresh my Contemplative and centering prayer practice. I met and engaged with folks from other faith backgrounds and appreciated sharing our stories and experiences. I learned a lot. From walks in nature to delicious meals and comfy cozy accomodations, the retreat center calmed my weary heart. My only wish is that it lasted longer. The sisters are and support staff were so kind.
