monastery of the holy spirit

这个寺院很可爱,很安静,也很吸引人,如果你碰巧来这儿,一定不能错过这家寺院。我们来这儿有时候是为了学校的项目,有时候是家人一起来玩,也有个人旅行,在旁边的商店购购物什么的。旁边的店都特别好,到处都是卖小礼品的,有宗教的和世俗的。这个寺院的网店在美国任何一个地方都可以用,价格公道,质量高,在旁边商店工作的和尚很友善,帮了我们很多忙。我们肯定还会来的,因为我们很喜欢这儿。

多么漂亮的地方。这里给你一个回顾反省获得心灵宁静的地方。另外,这里有一个博物馆,一个盆栽花园苗圃,及一个很棒的礼品店。不要错过僧侣做的蜜。

当你开车进入停车场时,尽管周围会有修道士和其他游客来回走动,但你还是能感受到四周美丽的风景。这个教堂很漂亮,坐下来静思时能都感觉到上帝的存在。这里有个游客中心,里面全天都在播放教堂历史。还有个很好的礼品店,里面售卖各种他们自己或其他修道院制作的东西。还有各种各样的盆栽出售。当然少不了各种心灵书籍,尤其是关于特拉普派运动的书。这里还有个咖啡厅。

宁静的周边环境。别的地方很新,衬托出了寺院的历史悠久。有很多可以静坐或者安静散步的地方。教堂很漂亮,还有周边的商店。非常充实的一天。

我来过这里3次,每一次都感觉像是周末来这里度假。这里给人感觉非常不错,美好迷人。这的僧人非常有造诣,天赋极高。这个园地非常可爱平静而且可以散步野炊,大家可以安安静静在这坐上一天就度过了美好的一天。这附近还有一些小店和书店,适合大家游览。

I always thought Biscotti was hard enough to drive a nail. The Monks do it right! Soft in texture with Almonds, Pecans, and other nuts. Blueberries, Cranberries and other fruit make it hard to not grab with a cup of coffee. We will be buying more and giving it as gifts. Oh yeah, on a side note the Monastery is a good place to sit and spend time w/God.

If you're already on Highway 212 near the monastery it might be worth stopping in, but it wasn't really worth it to go out of our way to visit this spot. The chapel is pretty but a little spartan, and the monk we saw was not friendly. The museum was just a few plaques describing history on the wall, and the monk there was very unfriendly. The gift shop is nice and worth a stop if you like shopping for trinkets and nice goodies from around the world. The nature here is not really that pretty, though it's ok. It wasn't really what I expected. The whole complex is very modern and spartan, not like visiting cathedrals in Europe. Also what religion is this? We couldn't figure it out. Not warm and fuzzy.

I find myself taking the drive to Conyers more and more to visit this wonderful place! Today's visit was for picking up some last minute gifts at the Gift shop. Honey, best biscotti you will ever eat (and I'm a NY Italian saying this!), fudge just to name a few food items; and then there's the Christian gifts and books! Not your style, ere are soaps and lotions, and even some cloths and Jewlery! Do visit the Monastic Heritage Center, and then go up the road for the Chapel. A good peaceful place to rest in a world of utter chaos!

Although I have previously enjoyed community events (like the Atlanta Boy's Choir Christmas Program) at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, two rather recent additions have enhanced the property and made it an even more desirable destination experience.Specifically, the relatively new Visitor's Center, with excellent food, beautiful gifts, and yummy home-made goodies, has given visitors a place to eat, a place to shop, and a place to "grab a little air conditioning and a clean comfort stop" while hiking the path. The path, a multi-purpose paved path of more than thirty miles, now connects the Monastery with Panola Mountain State Park, Davidson-Arabia Mountain, Stone Crest Mall in Lithonia, and Stone Mountain.Get a little exercise, grab a bite, and renew your spirit with a fun, pleasant, and peaceful visit to the Monastery of the Holy Spirit!

I love spending time here. The church is breathtaking in its simplicity. Walking the stations of the cross around the lake always calms and restores my soul. The path is truly a blessing to our community. Where else can you enjoy miles of paved biking through peaceful woods?

Great place to go by yourself, with family or friends. If you live in the Conyers/Covington area this is a great place to take your company visiting you. It has a beautiful bonsai garden and flower shop. Their gift shop has some real neat stuff, great ideas for Christmas gifts. While you shop around get some coffee and maybe a soft energy/granola bar.Watch the video, it provides you with a lot of history about this place and the daily lives of the monks. Walk through the museum and the barn to learn some more about the monks. If you get lucky one of the monks may greet you and answer any questions you may have. The cathedral is very peaceful. Pay attention to the stained glass windows. It creates a beautiful lit up view. Don't forget to go to the retreat area, there's a little lake in the rear, lots of geese there. This is a great spot for pictures. Then walk back to the great big opening in front of the cathedral, walk down the rows of magnificent magnolias. Great spot for a picture. If you have more time, you can catch the walking trail, it starts from the monastery, it's about 5 miles round trip. There is no entrance fee, but be kind enough to donate a few dollars when you enter the museum.

This is a go to place for some quiet time to reflect or to just walk around and enjoy the grounds. No trip is complete without visiting the gift shop. Delicious home - made items and gifts to choose from. I saw the Atlanta Boys Choir here couple years back and it was wonderful and breathtaking. The chapel is beautiful!!!!Also nice place on a pretty day to bring lunch and go down by the lake and feed the ducks.

The Monestary of the Holy Spirit is so lovely! And the conversations I have with Brother Thomas in the Museum are unforgettable. A fantastic place to visit. Serene and well manicured.

Thus is such a peaceful place. Take a walk. Grab a snack in the cafe, shop a little, visit the chapel, or tour the bonsai garden. There plenty of beauty and a in pec change from my regular pace of life.

Amazing visit. Visited before starting the Rockdale Trail! Awesome geocaching here! Visit the store and take a walk around the lake! Gem in the hustle!
