The Abbey of the Hills has been working very hard to create a plan that upholds CDC recommendations and our personal standards to keep you healthy and safe during the upcoming retreats. If you'd like more information we'll send you our safety policy upon request.
Keep The Abbey Strong
With no activity-events/retreats or guests, The Abbey relies even heavier on the generosity of you, our donors and friends.

Donations Tax Deductible in 2020!

If you like to write, hike, pray or play – regardless of your faith – there is a unique experience waiting for you at The Abbey. Come visit us – as a guest, volunteer or simply take a tour – and Rediscover Peace at The Abbey.
