Monastic Life

I am beginning to encourage the growth of a monastic community in Lawrence, Kansas. Here are the core values of the community:
  1. hospitality
  2. contemplation
  3. compassion
  4. justice
As an introduction, here are the ingredients for the long-term vision:
  1. Location: downtown Lawrence, Kansas
  2. Educational opportunities: K - Adult
  3. Residential facilities: temporary, student, transitional and ordinand
  4. Comfort station (warm/cold drinks and light snacks for those in need)
  5. A place of peace
  6. A place of contemplation
If you are interested in something like this, let me know!
