Divine Tools, Unlimited Desert Monastery Charity Profile
The center provides an opportunity for individuals, couples and small groups to come and have an affordble and renewing experience of ‘vacation’ - one less fraught with tensions and traffic, more characterized by hours of time for quiet walks and for meditation, with no disruptions from phone calls and schedules.
Additionally, this Desert Monastery project offers a setting and a context for those who may feel a deeper calling, to leave their normal life for a time and to go into retreat of a more profound nature. In a sense, this project offers the fledgling or experienced meditator a short-term ‘hermit’ or monk-like experience, an opportunity to ground themselves more fully in contemplation and to have access to the divine messages accessed only from within, in periods of silence.
There are also opportunities for service - a chance to offer a personal gift of labor to the Monastery & Retreat Center by working in the garden, stringing fence lines, pruning tree branches, or other outdoor activity to beautify and improve the surroundings as evidence of or gratitude for their stay. We anticipate cycles among guests and planned activities, knowing some in brief residence will require more chatter to relieve their adjustment stress, versus those in longer-length retreats characterized by more periods of silence.
