visit a monastary

Simple life and cooperation. Concentrating their focus on one goal.
Not to mention the super ninja fighting skills.

yummy monks. eh did i really say that!
no, i have always loved gregorian chanting and gothic art and stained glass, am thinking of going to Buckfastleigh in the next 2 weeks when i have some time off, fancy just filling a backpack and going for a wander…

Well they didn’t pray as a community but I got to nose around and walk around the gardens and think some things over. Beautiful view of the city and mountains.

Looks like I’ll be attending a conference that’s hosted by a monastary in February.

I want to take an overnight trip to a monastic community, join in the round of prayers and spend some time in contemplation. I’m pretty flexible in my definition of monastic since I hope to visit the Iona Community this spring. A friend recently visited Lindisfarne, so that is another option.
