20K views · 3.2K reactions | Monastery of the Holy Spirit (or Holy Spirit Abbey) is a beautiful, and free, getaway from Atlanta, Georgia. The monastery is located on 2,300 acres of land and offers visitors to get away from it all, slow down, and experience a different pace of life. It’s a place for reflection, rest, prayer, meditation, and to worship God and study the word. The website encourages visitors to retreat, rest, reflect, and renew. Admission is free and you can walk the trails and prayer walk, visit the museums, gift shop, cafe, purchase some monk made candles, baked goods, fudge, and honey, and explore the grounds. There are also guided tours offered here. Brothers from Gethsemani Abbey settled on this old cotton plantation called Honey Creek in 1944. There’s also community services offered here like a food bank, as the brothers had more than just solitude and prayer in mind, they also wanted this to be a place of community and hospitality. I highly recommend visiting this place, whether you are spiritual or not, to unwind, learn, and reflect. If you want to make a day of it, you can also visit other attractions located in the massive Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area. Including Arabia Mountain, Panola Mountain State Park, Panola Shoals Trailhead, many historic sites, and more.

It’s located just outside of Charleston, SC in the beautiful lowcountry and all the best scenery of the area is on full display here at the tea garden. My favorite part is the unlimited free tea samples with lots of great flavors, I think I drank my weight in tea while I was there! I also bought several boxes to take home. The free factory tour is the best way for them to ensure they’re going to sell you some tea because it smells SO good! Do you prefer tea or coffee? **some additional things I didn’t mention in the video- The gift shop at Charleston Tea Garden also sells delicious honey caramels, I bought several and I wish I would have filled up a bucket. They’re way better than regular caramels in both mine and Danielle’s opinion. Also, for Atlanta people- the gift shop at Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Conyers, GA also carries Charleston Tea Garden’s tea products. It’s a bit pricier there, but beats driving all the way to Charleston to get your fix. 😅 #charlestonteagarden #charlestonteaplantation #charlestonsc #charleston #southcarolina #lowcountryliving #southcarolinalowcountry #lowcountry #charlestontea #hiddengems #travelfreak #travelgem #southcarolinagems #travelcouple #roadtripgeorgia #southernliving #southernlife #livinginthesouth | Ganza Media

19K views · 6.5K reactions | READY FOR A ROADTRIP⁉️ Ravine Gardens State Park in Palatka is one of ✨THE MOST MAGICAL✨#Florida state parks The gardens were developed during the Great Depression in an effort to spur the economic recovery of the City of Palatka 💐 Azaleas were chosen as the theme flower of the gardens because of their brilliant bloom during the tourist season 🚘 And they’re still delighting visitors today 😍 Drive through a 1.8-mile trail that loops around the ravines, hike the challenging (yet rewarding) 2.5-mile Azalea Trail, cross the suspension bridges, and see the spring-fed creek, called Whitewater Branch Ravine Gardens is beautiful year round, but bonus points if you plan your visit during ✨PEAK BLOOMING SEASON✨, which is from January through April I’ll definitely be making a trip back 😎 #FlStateParks #FloridaStateParks #HiddenGem #Palatka #VisitPalatka #FloridaOutdoors #WildFlorida | Sarah Phinney
