Social Media

There are a few “new monasticism” Facebook groups. I will post them here as I locate them:

• A300 is training for people who want to pioneer the start of a New Monastic Community or live as urban Monks in European cities.
• New Monastic Network self-describes as “Building new monastic ecclesial communities out of contextual mission.”
