Grailville…

A center for retreats, spirituality, women’s empowerment, the environment,

and good old peace and quiet

Located in the rolling hills of southwest Ohio, just 35 minutes from Cincinnati, Grailville offers spiritual, cultural, and educational opportunities for the public, as well as providing guest facilities for meetings, lodging, dining, and special events.

As an environmental, education, and retreat center of The Grail, Grailville is committed to spiritual search, ecological sustainability, social justice, and women’s empowerment and creativity.

In this soothing and beautiful atmosphere in which to grow, we invite you to come and enjoy:

• 300 acres of farm-fresh air, organic gardens, hiking trails, woods, pastures, ponds, creeks, and solitude;

• spiritual, cultural, and educational opportunities, projects, and special events open to the public;

• programs on the environment, sustainable living, and our innovative and environmentally friendly constructed wetland wastewater treatment system;

• residential facilities for meetings, workshops, personal retreats, special events, and private celebrations;

• The Grailville Store (and Web Store), featuring fair-trade items, unique gifts, and specialty items from Grailville and Grail artists;

• an award-winning Oratory and two outdoor labyrinths for prayer, rituals, and meditation;

• a Coffeehouse (adjoining The Grailville Store) for quiet time alone, to meet with friends, or schedule music and poetry performances;

• volunteer opportunities… house tours… garden tours… a seasonal organic produce stand…

• and a diverse spiritual community of women creating a way of life reflected in all of the above.

Now more than ever, the world needs havens like Grailville, sacred spaces for reflection and prayer. We need places that provide opportunities to create and learn strategies for justice and peace, places that—through the loving care of the keepers of those places—offer a respite from the stress of everyday life. Grailville has—is—all of that and more.

Whether you come to Grailville for a retreat, workshop, meeting, special event, or private celebration, and whether you stay for the day, a week, or longer, you’ll find 300 acres worth of down-home rest and renewal waiting for you.

Even just a few hours at Grailville can restore and rejuvenate you as you take a stroll on our nature trails, a mind-quieting walk on one of our labyrinths, or browse among unique gifts in the welcoming atmosphere of The Grailville Store. Or maybe you’d rather just sit on a bench and listen to the mockingbird, lie down in the grass and feel the sun on your face, or take a few deep breaths in the pine grove. However you spend your time at Grailville, chances are you’ll soon find your forehead soft and your shoulders dropping away from your ears.
