Welcome!

• Are you searching for a spiritual home?

• Are you looking for a quiet place to restore your spirit?

• Do you feel called to a life of daily prayer with others?

Explore and discover a practical spirituality at Holy Wisdom Monastery.

The welcoming reception, uncluttered space and natural environment offer you a place to discover more about yourself, God's place in your life and your connection with the world.

Our ecumenical community also invites single Christian women of any denomination to visit the monastery and explore a call to monastic life.

It is our privilege to share our life of prayer, hospitality, justice and care for the earth with people of diverse views and cultures. We invite you to join those who say, “When I come in the door, it feels like coming home.”
