As a virtual monastery, our community reaches around the globe. As of November 2025, over 1700 people have affirmed the Monk Manifesto to join the Holy Disorder of Dancing Monks, committing to live a compassionate, contemplative, and creative life.
We love how our virtual format allows dancing monks around the world to stand in solidarity with one another. At the same time, our leadership team has longed to find ways for our community to connect locally and face-to-face. While technology offers many gifts, there is also something special about being in the embodied presence of other kindred spirits. A unique attunement to one another and to the Beloved happens.
To that end, we’re delighted to share the Dancing Monks Map, which allows you to see where we all are located around the world to convene nearby monks for in-person gatherings. Two of our community members, Liuan Huska, and her husband, Matt Huska, developed the map and a guide for local conveners.
