There are a few “new monasticism” Facebook groups. I will post them here as I locate them:
- A300 is a training for people who want to pioneer in starting a New Monastic Community or to live as a Urban Monk in European cities.
- New Monastic Network self-describes as “Building new monastic ecclesial communities out of contextual mission.”
Here are a few more intentional Christian communities from the other side of the pond:
