Benedictine Experience Weekends

Benedictine spirituality is more readily experienced than defined. Beginning in February, with other weekends available in April, June, August, October and December at theNew Norcia Monastery Guesthouse. Beginning with Vespers at 6.30pm on Friday, concluding after lunch on Sunday, the weekend will provide the opportunity to enter fully into the monastic rhythm and balance of prayer, work, Lectio Divina, hospitality, and community life. There will be opportunities to ponder the riches of the scriptures and monastic literature, both in group discussions and personal silence and solitude, bringing from the ‘storeroom, things both new and old.’ Participants are also invited to join the community for silent meals, one of many invitations to listen with the ‘ear of the heart.’ Suggested donation: $250.00 (for those who can afford it), includes accommodation, meals and entry into the Museum and Art Gallery.
