Art Monastery

Founded in 2008, the Art Monastery is a secular non-profit intentional community that applies monastic principles to the creative process. What sort of monastic principles? Meditation, shared schedule, growing our own food, honoring the earth, singing together, working hard, treating each other with kindness and honesty. We cultivate a container that can produce transformative art. We host meditation retreats aimed at creativity, wellness getaways, and artist residencies.
