Monastery of the Holy Spirit, Conyers, Georgia
The Monastery of the Holy Spirit is a Trappist monastery located less than an hour away from the Atlanta airport. The 2,000+ acre grounds offer visitors a chance to be immersed in the monastic life of contemplation and peace. You can join the monks for Mass, mid-day prayer or vespers in the Abbey Church, which has been called "Georgia's Most Remarkable Concrete Building,” or learn about some of the Cistercian saints on the Prayer Walk. They offer retreats year-round as well as guided tour of the bonsai gardens. Visitors can also purchase delicious monk-made fruitcake, biscotti, or fudge to bring some of the Monastery beauty home with them.
