For Monasteries and Convents
We only go where we are asked to. It is our intention to help your community as much as we can in any way we can. If you need landscapers, painters, high skilled laborers, or even a physician, we can help bring them to you. We ask that you fill out "invitations form" and send it back to us telling us about your community and the work to be done. We want to cater the program to fit your needs. Download the attachment and send it back to us. We will then be calling you, sending someone over to see the site first hand, and developing our program together.[ + ] Download Invitation Form
Every program is simply designed to serve mind, soul, and body, in a monastic way. You will discuss religion, theology, and history with the fathers. You will attend daily prayer services. And you will be working outside, stretching your legs, and perhaps even hiking a bit. The goal is to pull you away from the cell phone, the labtop, and other conveniences and revive you, refresh you, and rejuvenate you.
Get ready for a day which was not always so different
Enjoy home made meals and snacks. Although you will eat no meat while there, be aware that monastics have had to learn how to make "fasting food" delicious for a thousand years.
We will take advantage of the whole day. We will let you rest, but chances are you will stay up late talking about life, philosophy, and other topics less talked about.
- an opportunity to find mentors
- an opportunity to travel to new places
- an opportunity to meet new people
If you have special skills or talents, we will utilize them. In our application form, make sure you list everything you can do. If you can cook, speak foreign languages, know how to design brochures, or can build skyscrapers, we will put your talents to good use.
