About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

The Art of Heart and Soul is a small group experience to explore your spirituality.  Come spend time exploring your heart and soul.

This  adventure is for anyone who is searching, seeking, exploring their spirituality. There is no experience required artistically or otherwise. No experience or familiarity with spiritual direction is needed. Persons of all faiths or no faith backgrounds are welcomed.

We’ll use simple art forms to encourage your heart and soul to speak and then engage in group spiritual direction to tell your story.

The art forms are wonderfully forgiving. Art is simply the vehicle we use to explore your heart and soul.  Group spiritual direction is a safe and non-judgmental guided process.  This is a spiritual process and not a religious, counseling or therapeutic process.  We’ll just explore what is on your heart and how Spirit and Divine are working in you.

Come!  Be curious.  Come! Try something new.  Come! Experience the Holy Spirit’s presence in your life.

First Visit
This was my first visit to St Placid Priory and I found the experience a wonderful retreat. It gave me a chance to get some much needed respite. The sisters were very kind, the rooms very nice, and the food was delicious and the grounds are also very nice . I would recommend it to anyone wanted some quiet time.

Just what I needed.
I am an introvert who really needs her alone time. I need to know that I can spend a day or 2 alone with God, to better know Him and myself. Staying at St. Placid Priory Spirituality Center gave me that opportunity. They thought of everything to make sure retreatants have all they need to have a comfortable stay. The room was perfect for me. The grounds are beautiful and the quiet was a gift. The people who gave me a tour were very friendly and made me feel very welcomed. I would definitely stay there again and highly recommend.

Sublime peace and quiet
I participated in a weekend silent centering prayer retreat. It was a truly restful and nourishing time. There was just the right amount of input and guidance from our leader. The atmosphere at the Priory is wonderfully serene and welcoming. The food was fabulous!
