STARCROSS MONASTIC COMMUNITY

ANNAPOLIS, CA

    • Mission

    The objective of Starcross Monastic Community is to live a good and simple life. We attempt to lead a prayerful, monastic life and to be one of the many presences in the world affirming the value of compassion for all. We have responded as we could to the individual needs of the suffering and the struggling, particularly children. Since 1986 we have felt a specific calling to respond to children impacted by the AIDS pandemic - in this country and abroad. Although our roots are in the Western monastic experience, we have been nourished by other traditions as well and are in spiritual solidarity with many faith communities and people walking individual paths. Increasingly we reach out in response to others with different experiences from our own in the challenging circumstances of life and society. We feel there is a divine spark and creativity in every individual which requires respect and support.

    About Us

    Starcross Monastic Community is a small, independent, community of people living peaceful lives in the contemplative tradition and offering encouragement and affirmation to gentle folks on all spiritual paths.

    Our home is in Sonoma County’s coastal hills. We respect and cherish the relationship between nature and spirituality. On our farm, we produce certified organic extra virgin olive oil, and farm sustainably in our gardens and orchards.

    This sacred space provides a sanctuary for friends living out their unique spiritual vocations. Our current projects also include sharing reflective writings with our readers, responding to the needs of our local area, in which many impoverished and under-served families reside, supporting migrant families, and preserving our beautiful land for future generations.

    Our story is winding and complex, stretching across the country and across the world. Throughout it all, we have striven to live peaceful and mindful lives.
