Mepkin Abbey is a small monastic community of Trappist monks founded in 1949 on the Mepkin plantation along the Cooper River just outside Charleston, South Carolina. It offers a donation-based space for contemplation, presenting a quiet setting for individuals seeking spiritual retreat. The abbey sustains itself in part through oyster mushroom cultivation, selling produce on site and via an online shop. Located in Moncks Corner, the organization sits within the religious institutions sector and welcomes visitors and retreat participants as part of its mission. In early 2024, the abbey expanded access to its offerings with the launch of a mobile application.
