No, I am not talking about the living room sofa! The most peaceful and tranquil place I have ever visited is Mepkin Abbey in Moncks Corner, SC. From the time you turn off the dirt road into the tree-lined driveway into the abbey, nothing is the same. The peace and quiet overtakes you and the only sound you hear is the singing of the birds. The welcome center greets you with a cozy bookstore, many hand made crafts, and fresh eggs from the farm run by the monks.
You can stroll the gardens, or take guided tours to the monastery. There is not a more beautiful spot short of Heaven. The grounds were once a plantation owned by Henry and Clair Boothe Luce, who are buried on the grounds. You can walk, sit, read, meditate, walk a labrynth, or even take a weekend retreat. For a sneak preview of Heaven, this is the place to go!
