New Monasticisms Ireland
Our invitation to you
What can we gain by sailing to the moon if we are not able to cross the abyss that separates us from ourselves?
This is the most important of all voyages of discovery, and without it, all the rest are not only useless, but disastrous.
Thomas Merton
Living by the principles
The Principles of New Monasticisms urges us to consider
Spiritual wisdom enriching society.
Wisdom is a gift and is sought in study and reflection.
The company of those who share the spiritual journey is valued.
Tradition is a storehouse of wisdom.
New Monasticisms Ireland Conferences
We generally run three teaching events or conferences
during the year.
We endeavour to bring the best speakers on contemporary topics with a particular emphasis on spirituality and the search for meaning.
Irish Christianity informs our movement but we are open to the wisdom that other faiths inspire.
Our next speaker
Padraic O' Tuama has been postponed. Please check here and on our FaceBook page for updates
