join the map of dancing monks
Our community reaches around the globe. We invite you to participate, connect, and be part of our Abbey.
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. One of our community members, Liuan Huska, and her husband, Matt Huska, developed the map and a guide for local conveners.
Fill out the opt-in form to allow your contact information to be shared with other dancing monks in your area and appear on a private map hosted in our secure retreat platform. You can also express your interest in participating in or hosting local gatherings.
Once you opt-in you will be given access to login to the interactive private map on our secure community retreat platform. You will also be listed by an anonymous marker on this public map.
