Monasticism has always been a response to the deep human longing for God. From the desert fathers and mothers of Egypt and Palestine to the monasteries of Europe, it has shaped lives of prayer, simplicity, and service for centuries. But this course isn’t about the monasticism of the past—it’s about new expressions of monasticism emerging today, rooted in the same longing but responding to the unique challenges and possibilities of our time.

Through conversation, study grounded in the work of Howard Thurman and contemplative practice, we will examine how the mystical tradition cultivates resilience, equanimity, and perseverance as God’s life moves through us and clarifies what is truly ours to do in the long work of justice.
