The life of a Camaldolese monk centers on the seeking union with God following the dictates of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in union with the Catholic Church, through the ancient but ever new monastic heritage of Saint Benedict as enriched by Saint Romuald. This life radiates outward in various rhythms, involving solitude and community, silence and fraternal encounter, prayer and work, study and recreation. The community in Big Sur is situated in the rugged coastal mountains overlooking the Pacific Ocean surrounded by California chaparral, redwood, madrone, bay laurel, and oak trees – a natural setting profoundly conducive to the contemplative way of life. We ask that individuals considering our life to be in the process of spiritual direction. If, after serious discernment, it seems that God is calling you to a monastic and contemplative vocation, we would be happy to explore the possibility with you. Preferred age range: 25-40.
