  • Title - Austin Campus

    Austin_181x121 Established in 1997, the OHI Austin mission is located on 14 wooded acres in central Texas – 16 miles east of Austin and 20 minutes from the airport. In this rural setting, you can escape your hectic world to rejuvenate in a safe place where you can connect with nature and bask in the support of a close-knit community focused on healthy living.

    After checking in at reservations, settle into one of our unpretentious rooms, which will serve as part of your OHI “home” away from home. Then discover friendly gathering places in our main building – including the Great Hall with its stone fireplace, our dining room, and classrooms where small class-sizes afford extra personal attention and an opportunity to forge strong, lasting friendships with like-minded people.

    During your stay, take time to enjoy a quiet walk in our beautiful garden or along peaceful wooded trails. Visit the chapel for quiet contemplation. Stop by the Optimum Health Store where you can purchase books, personal care products, and more. Or grab your swimsuit for a refreshing swim or relaxing hot tub. Enjoy your time of relaxation and renewal at OHI Austin.

Spiritual Disciplines

In the Judeo Christian tradition, spiritual disciplines are a means of receiving the grace of God. They enable us to do what we cannot do on our own. By practicing spiritual disciplines, we cultivate a life in which God can bring growth, change, and transformation. Typically, spiritual disciplines are divided into two categories – internal and external. Some examples are listed below:

Internal / abstinence

  • Solitude: Be absent from others so you can be present with God
  • Silence: Quiet your voice and the voices of others, so you can listen for the voice of God
  • Fasting: Be aware of yourself and the needs of others; focus your heart on God
  • Frugality: Remove your desire for luxury and devote your resources to serving God and others
  • Secrecy: Let go of external recognition and find acceptance from God
  • Sacrifice:Give up self-security and put total trust in God

External / engagement

  • Prayer: Converse with God : Ask, listen, and open your life to change
  • Study: Change your way of thinking, your way of knowing and pursue God's truth
  • Worship: Experience the greatness of God in everything and everybody
  • Celebration: Rejoice in the goodness of God and live your life in gratitude
  • Fellowship: Gather with others to share love, joy, and encouragement
  • Service: Serve others and free yourself from arrogance and judgment
  • Submission: Be honest, open, and accountable to God and others
  • Confession: Acknowledge your offenses and find freedom in forgiveness

Practicing spiritual disciplines helps affirm your belief in God, enabling you to witness transformation in yourself and others in a community of faith, hope, and love.
