Arranging a Visit
We are happy to share our monastic life with visitors and are able to offer overnight accommodations. However, our guest facilities at present are very limited and we request that all guests contact us well in advance to schedule a day visit or longer stay. Overnight visits are booking out several months in advance, so please plan ahead. Once you have made a reservation, please advise us of any changes to your travel plans.
