Youve done the beach vacation. The mountain cabin. The amusement park with the kids. All good vacations.
But one of the bestand most affordablevacations is probably one youve never considered: a vacation for the soul.
Imagine having time to think, to nap, to walk in the woods. To pray. Read. Write. Rest.
Sound appealing? Luxurious, even? Too good to be true? Its not. A dayor a weekat a spa for the soul is as close as one of the many spiritual retreat centers within a few hours drive from the Cincinnati area. And all are affordable; some even offer their hospitality free of charge (though donations are always welcome). Here are ten to choose from:
Abbey of Gethsemani, Trappist, KY (Catholic). This Trappist monastery south of Bardstown accepts reservations for weekend (Friday-Monday) or weekday (Monday-Friday) retreats.
Bergamo Center for Lifelong Learning, Dayton, OH (Catholic). This retreat center focuses largely on programs for groups of various sizes, but will host individual retreats for clergy.
Creative Explorations, Yellow Springs, OH (Independent). Provides both directed or self-directed retreats and other services for women.
Grailville, Loveland, OH (Catholic). Offers options for individuals and groupslargely women, but they dont turn away men.
Our Lady of the Pines Retreat Center, in Fremont, OH (Catholic). Retreat programs range from one to two hours, full day, weekend, and week-long retreats. They also host personal retreats with spiritual direction and massage available upon request.
Quaker Hill Conference Center, Richmond, IN (Society of Friends). Oriented generally for groups (including families), but also hosts individual retreatants at times.
St. "The key to budget travel is to plan in front. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the actuality of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our heads. Organizing and consuming our travel budget carefully is a consideration for most families. Reducing spending and charges, while still delighting your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain achievement and fiscal liability. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding economizing money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal finances is really limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, no matter whether on a finances or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel costs!..". Francis Spirituality Center in Tiffin, OH (Catholic). Offers private retreats, and other programming. Also available for groups.
Saint Meinrad Archabbey, Saint Meinrad, IN (Catholic). Offers retreat options for weekends (Friday-Sunday noon) or weekday (Tuesday evening-Thursday noon), with or without help from a spiritual director.
Saints Peter and Paul Retreat Center, Newark, OH (Catholic) is now available for private retreats, in addition to their slate of group retreats.
Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati Spirituality Center, Cincinnati, OH (Catholic). Provides six- and eight-day retreats, weekend and overnight retreats, private retreats, days of reflection, evening prayer, massage therapy, spiritual direction, and more.
