First time here in this very unique place of tranquility, hospitality and spirituality. Well worth…read morea visit just to observe the beautifully designed place of worship incorporating the sacred stones of an earlier abbey in Spain and its rich history . This is a working abbey with organic vineyards, wine tasting facilities, fruit and nut orchards and a Book and gift shop . Definitely well worth a visit on a day trip or stay a few days on retreat .

First time retreatant and though I arrived extremely apprehensive, I left the tranquil and lush…read moresurroundings overwhelmingly grateful for the peaceful space this place intentionally creates for the retreatants to spend time with God. I was recommended the place by two very good friends but as I approached and arrived, I felt out of place as a female Protestant from a Presbyterian background. I genuinely questioned myself: "what the heck am I doing here?!" but very quickly, as I eased into the first day, my friend Marco's encouragement that "you will have plenty of physical space and the emotional space to meet God and have your prayers answered and exceeded" were certainly true. The sparse dorm-like room is air conditioned with your own bathroom and shower. A printed schedule of meal times, mass times are in each room, but otherwise, you are here for a self-directed retreat. I recommend you bring your own pillow and the one provided was high and firm. The meals are held in the original Leland Stanford farm house with watery window panes. There is a library open for retreatants and though I didn't think I'd find anything I would like, I ended up reading two Henri Nouwen books cover to cover. Whether you talk with other retreatants is up to you and them throughout your stay. There is a separated silent dining room and the main dining room where chatting is allowed. I arrived with a boatload of books and articles I'd printed out, but it was the long walks in the walnut orchard, along the creek, and along the vineyards that yielded the most interesting insights and answers. I ended up doing a sort of "memento mori" meditative walk along the numbered vines from 1 to 78 where I stopped at each number and went through each year of my life. Long story long, the new Clairveaux Abbey is a beautiful retreat center that provides you with plenty of physical and emotional space to encounter our real God in quiet and very emphatic ways.
