Visiting the Abbey

Visits start with an Appointment
We welcome visitors to our monastery! All visits, regardless of length of stay, require an appointment. You can make an appointment by contacting the office.

Overnight Visits
All overnight visits start with a completed registration form. To get the most out of your visit, we recommend a minimum two night stay.

You must register to visit.

If you have any of these symptoms, please re-schedule your visit: fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea.

More Visiting Information
When you visit the Abbey, you join in with a fully functioning, resident community of monks and nuns. That’s different from visiting a Dharma or retreat center. The following pages can help you plan your travel logistics, prepare for living with our monastic community, and answer your questions and concerns. Please read the following sections to better understand what it means to visit us at the Abbey.
