Benedictine Peacemakers Monastic Immersion
An Evolution of Monastic Life
For 1,500 years, monasteries have attracted seekers of a deep spiritual life. They created monastic communities that became spiritual centers, a backbone of social services, and the voice of social change wherever they were located. Today, young people hungry for connection, meaning, and belonging still seek spiritually grounded communities.
As an introduction to and evolution of monastic life, the Benedictine Peacemakers program is a model for approaching personal formation, spiritual community, and good work in the Benedictine spiritual and monastic tradition. Join the Benedictine Peacemakers for a year and be immersed in the monastic experience, develop within community, commit yourself to good work, and wrestle with questions about who you are, who God is for you, and what your place in the world is.
