personal retreats
If the experience of personal retreat is new to you, we can offer a number of printed guides to assist you, as well as the opportunity to meet with a spiritual director to help discern how best to approach your time. The four comfortable guest rooms, two on the second floor and two on the third floor, are well appointed for prayer, solitude, study, and rest. Each floor has a full bath and we also have internet access.
The main floor space, both inside and out, has many comfortable nooks where you can sip a cup of coffee or tea, read and reflect, or sit and watch the birds. A healthy, delicious lunch is included as part of your day retreat ($70).You may come and stay anytime between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm.
*Beginning September 2024, we will no longer offer overnight retreats.
"For over 25 years I’ve been practicing the habit of personal retreats, often in secluded locations to escape the noise of the city. However, what is desperately needed are sacred spaces in the middle of urban centers, so being still in the midst of real life can be learned. Thank God for Fall Creek Abbey. I have discovered Fall Creek Abbey to be a unique urban retreat that inhabits hospitality, breathes rest, and exudes the presence of God. It’s a place I treasure … and a respite I have encouraged our congregation to experience."
