Everyone's path is unique
Your spiritual journey
There's more than one way to meet the Divine
Just as there are many names for God, there are many paths to dwell in the presence of the Divine. At Benet Hill, no one will “should” on you. Here you are listened to with respect, love and compassion.
Connect with the Divine in nature
For some people, simply walking in a forest and pausing to listen is communing with the Divine. If that’s what you need right now, you are welcome to walk the monastery grounds.
- Labyrinth – travel a contemplative path
- Grotto – offer a prayer to Our Lady
- Zen meditation garden – meditate in the simplicity
- Forest paths – walk in solitude
- Stations of the Cross – pray for those carrying crosses today
We are all seeking something
Where are you on your spiritual journey?
I'm seeking

I'm seeking

We offer a safe place in the forest for you to retreat and renew.
I'm seeking
a place to pray

I'm seeking
mental health support

I'm seeking
to develop my spiritual leadership

I'm seeking
to live Benedictine values

Let curiosity guide the way
Kindness to yourself is key on this journey. Take time to be still. Listen. Read. Write down your questions, and when you’re ready to talk with someone who has likely asked the same questions, we are ready to listen. Together, we will learn the wisdom that already lives deep in your heart.
"A gift has emerged within me to empower myself and to become aware and embrace the presence and movement of God in my life journey."
