Conversations About Our Benedictine Life: Silence – Oct. 20, 6:30-8:00 pm

Registration ends Monday, 10/19/2026 11:59pm CDT

About This Event

The mission of Holy Wisdom Monastery is to weave us together in a shared way of life. These conversations are an opportunity to learn more about Benedictine spirituality, about the Rule of Benedict, and to talk with others about the gifts and challenges of living a Benedictine life. During the time together, we will contemplate short readings about silence, have an experience of it, and learn the practices that help to deepen the experience of it. We grow together in our shared life way of life through small and large group conversations.

Participants can expect a flow of silence, reflections on readings and quotes, small and large group conversation as well as a closing prayer.

These sessions are open to any adult who relates to any of the Holy Wisdom Monastery communities.

The registration deadline for each session is the day before the event you wish to attend.
