From Vision to Practice: A Comprehensive Guide to New Monasticism

In the midst of our rapidly changing world, the timeless call to monasticism continues to resonate. However, traditional monastic models may not always align with the realities of contemporary life. Enter New Monasticism, a movement that seeks to bridge the gap between ancient monastic principles and modern spirituality.

The New Monastic Handbook From Vision to Practice provides a comprehensive roadmap for those seeking to embrace a monastic lifestyle in the 21st century. This groundbreaking book, written by five experienced New Monastic leaders, offers a wealth of practical insights, inspiring stories, and transformative teachings.

New Monasticism is a vibrant and growing movement that embraces the core values of monasticism—simplicity, community, and contemplation—while adapting them to the unique challenges and opportunities of our time. Unlike traditional monasticism, which typically involves living in a monastic community for life, New Monasticism emphasizes discernment, flexibility, and collaboration.
