ABBEY OF THE ARTS - EARTH MONASTERY LIMITED

Abbey of the Arts – Earth Monastery Limited is a virtual monastery and global community that nurtures the inner monk, artist and pilgrim in anyone yearning for deeper contemplative practice. Drawing on the Christian mystical and prophetic tradition while remaining radically inclusive, the Abbey offers a suite of online retreats, prayer cycles and creative resources designed to support daily stillness, slowness and artistic expression.

Key offerings include five‑week Prayer Cycles for morning and evening devotion, the Monk Manifesto inviting participants to embrace a “monk revolution” of stillness, and a vibrant community of “dancing monks” co‑creating the experience. Members can explore poetry by founder Christine Valters Paintner, curated music and dance recordings, and a series of sacred visual icons. The Abbey also publishes practice‑oriented books on the spiritual life, available through its online gallery.

Whether you are a seasoned contemplative, a curious seeker or an artist looking for a supportive spiritual home, Abbey of the Arts provides accessible, practice‑rich programmes and a welcoming, open‑hearted community for all who wish to nourish their soul.
