From The Spiritual Communities

Life in their host’s houses.

The Chambre Haute is a space created by our community for young adults (18–35) seeking God. In a peaceful setting, guests are invited to pause, reflect, and deepen their spiritual journey through prayer, conversation, and creativity. With guidance from the monks, they can discern their path and reconnect with purpose.

Cistercian Abbey

The Sabbatical Year is a time set apart to be renewed through the Word of God, liturgy, and fraternal life. It offers a path of healing, formation, and discernment. Like physiotherapy for the soul, it invites you to slow down, listen deeply, and restore order to your life, gaining clarity and strength to follow His call. “A year given to the Lord bears lifelong and eternal fruit.”

The Sabbatical Year

Seeds of the Word

Monastic life seeks a balance we continually strive toward. Over centuries, a simple rhythm has emerged: prayer, work, nourishment, study, and time for rest or creative pursuits. Lived in an atmosphere of fraternity and calm, silence becomes a place of encounter. Together, we support one another in preserving this balance.
