It's Springtime in Montreat!

The mountains are beginning to come alive again as new leaves and flowers start to bloom. The air is refreshing and crisp, adding to the tranquil beauty of the season. Spring is in the air! And as spring arrives, we are reminded that this is an ideal time for reflection, renewal, and reconnecting with nature in Montreat.

Often called a “thin place,” Montreat provides a serene and stunning environment that invites guests to connect with their Creator and refresh their spirits. Here, you can find time for prayer, study, and rest, and explore all that Western North Carolina has to offer.

In this week's newsletter, we have highlighted a few ways that you can experience Sabbath in Montreat this spring. Visit our website or take a look below to see how you can experience Montreat for yourself!

Walking Meditation

Instructions for a variety of simple, spiritual practices are available to all Montreat guests and can be utilized anywhere on our campus. The following walking meditation is a good place to start if you are interested in learning new ways of seeing. As you walk at a slow, deliberate pace, focus on:

The sensation of your feet touching the ground created by God.
Your breathing rhythm, the very breath of life given by the Creator.
The gentle movement of your body, a temple of the Holy Spirit.
The changing scenery as you progress, revealing God’s ongoing creation.

Let thoughts come and go without attachment. If your mind wanders, gently bring your attention back to your steps, your breathing, and God’s presence with you on the path.
