Summer Stewards at Holy Wisdom Monastery

This is a six-day retreat that runs from July 22-27.

Are you concerned about climate change? Are you feeling unmoored in the uncertainty of our world? Are you longing for something with deep roots to help you feel grounded? Would you like time away for reflection, discernment and prayer? Do you want to deepen your spirituality in a setting that connects your faith with care for the earth? Be a Summer Steward for six days in July at Holy Wisdom Monastery, an intentional women's community with deep roots in the Benedictine tradition. Live the monastic tradition of prayer, work and rest in a progressive, inclusive community whose mission includes being in right relationship with the earth and one another. Join us for prairie and oak savanna restoration, gardening, reading and spiritual conversation. Share your experiences, reflections and questions with women on a similar journey - all this while living together in community on the monastery grounds. No previous experience required. We are an ecumenical community and encourage single, unpartnered women ages 18-45 of any denomination to apply. Learn more & apply here.
