Monastery of the Holy Spirit, Trappist monastery in Conyers, Georgia, US
The Monastery of the Holy Spirit spans across 2,300 acres near Conyers, encompassing a church, retreat facilities, and extensive grounds with agricultural areas.
Twenty monks from Gethsemani Abbey established this monastery in 1944 on a former cotton plantation, initially living in a barn while constructing their first buildings.
The monks maintain Cistercian traditions through daily prayers starting at 4 AM, manual labor, and the production of goods such as fruitcakes and stained glass.
Located 45 miles from Atlanta, the monastery welcomes visitors to its museum, gift shop, and bonsai garden, offering guided tours and retreat opportunities.
The monastery produces intricate stained glass windows through their own workshop, continuing a centuries-old monastic craft tradition in modern America.
