Practice Being Well
When the apostles finished their ministry tour and returned to tell Jesus all they had done and taught, Jesus said, “Come away by yourselves to a solitary place and rest a while.”
This is a place to do that. Sabbath. Sabbatical. Change of scenery. For those who spend their strength shepherding, instructing, serving and evangelizing. For those who are weary and faint. For those who are lonely and afflicted. Come and wait upon the Lord. Learn His way. For a day. Or two. Or three.
Located 30 minutes southeast of Atlanta and less than five miles from Panola Mountain State Park, Arabia Mountain, South Rockdale Community Park and The Monastery of the Holy Spirit; come away without going too far.
We invite you to throw off the weight of your phone, laptop and to-do list, and to choose the good portion. Practice being well. Relish the friendship of God. Roam the six and a half acres of the property and connect to over 30 miles of paved and unpaved trails via the PATH and surrounding parks. Or sit on the porch and read a book. We endeavor to steward an environment that facilitates prayer, reflection, wellness and gratitude.
During your stay, you are free to be as you please. While we do live on property, there is plenty of space for solitude. However, if you desire more intentional or interactive care, we would love to companion you along any of the following paths.
Spiritual Direction
All of life flows from our connection with Christ. Let us come alongside you in prayer, listening, encouragement and Biblical wisdom as you seek to strengthen this connection by noticing the Holy Spirit at work within.
Guided Meditation
The act of meditating on the truth of God is a rhythm of the Christian life that causes the soul to reverberate with thanksgiving and praise. Let us guide you to the sweetness and joy of the Word through this practice.
Inner Healing Prayer
IHP is focussed prayer to find healing and restoration in the presence of Jesus. It isn’t magic. It is an act of obedience to cast our cares on Him, because He cares for us. Our prayer counselors create a path for prayer, while trusting the Holy Spirit to guide you in to all truth, and the truth to set you free.
Confession
Jesus is our high priest, ever before the throne of God, advocating on our behalf, allowing us to come near His throne of grace with confidence. But sometimes it helps to hold a sister’s hand on the approach. We want to push with you through the lies and accusations of the enemy so you can find forgiveness and freedom from our God, the mercy giver.
Bible Study
The Word of God is living and active, sharp and piercing, discerning and revealing. Let us lead a path through scripture, guided by the Holy Spirit, marked specifically for you in this moment. *Advance preparation required
