I am in charge of the resident guests and the day visitors. Usually I can be reached by ringing the porter's bell outside the chapel. Be sure to ring it at least eight times or I might not hear it. It takes time to settle down from life's hectic pace and to fit into the monastic rhythm. The maximum stay is two weeks in the summer and three weeks in the winter.
Accommodation allows for men and women to be on private retreat.
There are ten single and three double rooms for a total of sixteen people. We believe that the best way that we can give hospitality in the desert is to offer our guests a chance to share in our Benedictine way of life. The key elements of this life are charity, prayer, spiritual reading and manual labor. The atmosphere most conducive to this kind of sharing includes silence and some solitude. We warmly invite guests who wish to seek Christ to come and share our life.
