Restless are our hearts, until they rest in - Gast im Kloster

What we offer
Participation
Everyday life can be demanding, full of stress or a
period of mourning – sometimes, each one of us
simple wants to relax, refresh and retreat.
Religious communities, either sisters or brothers and their
houses and institutes are a well-known source of renewing
peace and finding new energy. Monasteries welcoming
“participants” are happy for you to join in your prayer, their
regular chores or other tasks that are explained to you before
your visit. Please expect to find a rather simplistic way
of life suited to the particularities of each religious order.
Monastic life /
Religious life
Staying in a monastery is equal to spiritual renewal.
It is a stark contrast to the life you normally live and
gives wings to your soul. However, a monastery is no
comfy retreat, but is about working on yourself and assisting
others. Religious communities, either sisters or brothers,
follow a set of goals that they would like to achieve. When
staying with a congregation, you are welcome to experience
this way of life, which varies from place to place.
