Guest purpleispoetic Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 [color=#595959][font=arial, verdana, sans-serif][size=4]I would love to go on a silent retreat for a month or so but my work and school schedule will not allow it. I would however love to go for a week to start with- maybe 2 to 3 days. [/size][/font][/color] [color=#595959][font=arial, verdana, sans-serif][size=4] [/size][/font][/color] [color=#595959][font=arial, verdana, sans-serif][size=4]Does any one know any nice places to go for a silent retreat? When I say nice- I mean somewhere serene and beautiful not somewhere with WI-FI and DVD players in every room.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#595959][font=arial, verdana, sans-serif][size=4] [/size][/font][/color] [color=#595959][font=arial, verdana, sans-serif][size=4]I would however, like there to be a bed to be able to stay on as well as some options for meals.

Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) +JMJ There are usually retreat houses that specialize in retreats like this. I know there is one about 30 minutes from where I live that I went on a silent retreat weekend. It was wonderful There are several retreat houses in Ohio (just from a quick google search) but you would have to sift through the listings to find one that is Catholic. Give me a minute and I will see what I can find specifically. ETA: Also, several religious communities provide retreats. I would look and see if there are any nearby that would be willing to host you as well. Also, ETA: Here are a few retreat houses that looked like solid, faithful, and simple places in Ohio. I didn't get to Kentucky yet and these few here are just a few: [url="http://www.pinesretreat.org"] Our Lady of the Pines[/url] [url="http://www.stspeterandpaulretreatcenter.org"]Saints Peter & Paul Retreat Center[/url] [url="http://www.jrh-cleveland.org"]Jesuit Retreat House[/url] Edited February 10, 2011 by FutureNunJMJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rev Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 You go to to the Trappist monastery in Trappist Kentucky, Gethsemane abbey, (Thomas Merton was a monk there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 You could try the Visitation Monastery of Mobile, Alabama, if you are OK with traveling a little farther than expected. I don't know if you are a guy or a girl since your profile doesn't list it, but the nuns give amesome retreats. I've been wanting to go myself for a long time.
