Retreat Center
"All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ..."
Rule of Benedict, Chapter 53.
Mt. Tabor Retreat Center
Built in an octagonal-shape and encircled by large glass windows, the worhip space is filled with light and a magnificent view of the mountains. The shadows in the oratory act as a sundial. From dawn till dusk, you can watch the path of the sun. The outside flows inside, as you view the trees and mountains. All blends to contribute to your prayer
Way of the Cross
Entwined among the trees and rocks, we have
built a lovely outdoor Way of the Cross. It is a
refreshing way to experience the tranquility of
the mountains and meditate on the love our God
has shown us through the life and death of
Jesus.
We are located in the beautiful hills of Eastern Kentucky - off
of Highway 80, between Prestonsburg and Martin.
The Retreat Center is part of the Monastery. The monastic
rhythm of prayer, work and study is like a soft blanket that
one can wrap up in and take some time to focus in on what
is important in life. Both women and men of all faiths are
invited to come and experience our mountain tranquility.
There are opportunities for:
* Private Retreats
* Group meetings/retreats
* Faculty/staff orientations and workshops
* Volunteer Groups
* Experience the lifestyle of a women's monastic community
Tabor, feel it is a gift to be able to share our home with you. Like our sisters and brother down
through the centuries, we continue to welcome guests and visitors. You are invited to pray
with us, walk and climb the mountains, share our table and our care of the earth.
