Cloud-Bearing Mountain is an Orthodox Christian spiritual retreat center located in Jamestown, Pennsylvania. We are easily accessed from the Pittsburgh, PA and Cleveland, OH metropolitan areas, as well as from Erie, PA and Youngstown, OH. We provide a structured and quiet environment for the practice of contemplative or noetic prayer (Christian meditation). Silent, directed residential retreats form the heart of our programming. We also offer other retreat programs, classes, and liturgical services. Rooted in the fullness of the ancient Orthodox Catholic faith, we welcome all sincere pilgrims regardless of background.
Our retreats are intended for regular people who have to navigate the daily concerns of home, family, work, and life in this world while seeking authentic growth in the Christian life. Do you desire genuine spiritual awakening through repentance according to the pattern of the Gospel? Is your soul in need of healing? Are you looking for classical, Christ-centered guidance in the Christian life that accords with the ancient apostolic faith? Do you want to take time away from worldly distractions and dedicate yourself to prayer? Are you tired of lone-wolf pastors and crackpot internet personalities who sow confusion, leading people astray with their own opinions while knowing little to nothing about traditional Christianity? If so, you may find a retreat here to be helpful and life-changing like so many other guests have.
Situated on a quiet, forty-acre farmstead in northwestern Pennsylvania in close proximity to the Pymatuning Reservoir and Pymatuning State Park, our peaceful grounds provide the perfect setting for this most important work.
