God the Artist was fabulous!

We spent the day in Shelton at an artists private studio. We were able to create three beautiful pieces. I used ferns and Japanese maple leaves in my pottery. We could choose what to make and were given individual guidance and suggestions. Lunch was under a tree in his garden. It was a perfect day. Creativity is a spiritual practice.

Perfect Place for a Silent Retreat

I recently lost my husband suddenly through a vicious disease. It upended my world. I had been
on a silent retreat many years ago and knew that it would be helpful to get away from all of the external pressures and focus on the internal feelings of grief and loss. Luckily The Priory allowed me to have a five-day silent retreat in my well-furnished room plus a private dining space for silence.
My need for silence was respected by everyone there. The surroundings were lovely and peaceful.
It was just what I needed.

Zentangle with Sister Monika

I love the zentangle classes with Sister Monika! She starts and ends the classes with thankfulness for the day, for the paper and drawing tools and then gently leads us into creating zentangles. I have been taking her classes for a long time and continue to learn so much.

Retreat

Everything one needs for quietude, rest and time out for reflection is at St. Placid’s. The grounds for walking are inviting, the food is healthy, everyone is welcoming, the accommodations are clean and comfortable.

Serenity

When I need time to quietly be, to regain my serenity from living in a world of turmoil, St. Placid Priory is my choice. Here I can simply be, listen to the birds, listen to God.
