Vatican City
Whether or not you are Catholic, Vatican City is an amazing place to visit to strengthen your faith. When you are surrounded by centuries of religious history and tradition, it is incredibly moving. A visit to Vatican City should also include a stop at the Sistene Chapel. While nature reveals God, so does art. Michaelango’s artwork will leave you marveling at not just creation, but also at the artistic and creative gifts humans possess.
Monastic or Temple Stays
Another place to head for spiritual rejuvenation is a monastery or temple. Several monasteries and temples offer visitors the opportunity to stay on site and follow the rituals of the monks. While guests have the opportunity to learn about their faith and belief systems, most of these spiritual places are open to all belief systems. For example, many tourists travel to Asian countries and stay in Buddhist temples.
During these stays, you will be able to practice meditation and prayer. It provides an escape from the noise and busyness of our daily lives and provides an opportunity for personal and spiritual reflection. Often, a monastic stay is a silent once. For those seeking a “silent retreat,” these are the best places to visit to renew your spirit.
Yoga & Spirituality Retreats
In addition to temple stays, many individuals visit yoga and spirituality retreats for spiritual rejuvenation. Many popular yoga retreats are located in beautiful natural settings. As we’ve already discussed, there is power in seeking God in nature. Therefore, combining nature and the practice of yoga is a wonderful way to get in tune with your spirituality.
Rishikesh, India is a popular destination for yogis because it is considered the yoga capital of the world. It is also a frequented by those seeking spiritual rejuventation. It is set on the Ganges River and is one of the most visited places for spiritual pilgrimages. With the Himalyan background, it is an awe-inspiring place where tourists are filled with peace and tranquility.
Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá, Colombia
The Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá located in Colombia has several Christian art items inspired by its breath-taking geographic position. Visiting such an astonishing church within tunnels full of salt would be a worthwhile visit to those who are looking for spirituality.
A visit to any of these locations provides you the opportunity to draw closer to the creator. You may discover “church” in the trails of the mountain, the desert land, or the salt mines; you may even discover who God created you to be when you reflect on creation.
