Becoming a Monk in the World: Monk Manifesto

We are delighted to announce that our Monk in the World online course is now in a full-color booklet format including the wonderful illustrations from Kristin Noelle and reflections by Christine. You can order your copies directly through Blurb for $20 each, in a 7×7 inch format they make great companions for times of retreat and great gifts to help nourish the inner monk of someone you love.

The $3.41 profit from the sale of each booklet goes directly to support our scholarship fund and Earth Monastery Project.

We also plan to make a booklet with the dancing monk icon series (along with poems and song lyrics) available in the New Year.
