Join the Abbey Facebook Group for the Holy Disorder of Dancing Monks!

st francisHello monks and artists!  We are opening up a Facebook group for the *Holy Disorder of Dancing Monks* and ongoing conversation (facilitated by Wisdom Council member Melissa Layer but I will also check in as I can).  We want it to be a place of connection and ongoing support for the contemplative and creative journey, and we will see what evolves.  Part of being a monk in the world is stepping into the possibilities and seeing what happens!

To join you can go to this link (you will need to be logged into your Facebook account to see it) and click “Join the Group” and one of us will approve you. It is a closed group to give us a little privacy, but all dancing monks are welcome!
