Monasteries are places where the seemingly mundane and quiet activities of daily life serve as reminders of ultimate meaning and purpose. How might the ways in which we eat, clean, tend gardens, study, and contemplate help us remember who we hope to be and become? How do we cultivate a home that becomes a sacred container for the joys and sorrows of everyday life?

I think the answer is found in the wisdom that the warmth of our home depends on the health of our soul. Each room of our house is a helpful window into our own emotional landscape, and that landscape can be traversed in solidarity and in solitude. 

That's where this space comes in—The Monastic Home. Through the written word paired with playlists and surprise mail at your doorstep throughout the seasons, may we help each other remember that the tiniest moments of ordinary life hold potent meaning. And may that meaning be discovered and shared within the comfort of our homes.
