About us
We meet weekly (online) to pray Evening Prayer and Lectio Divina. We meet in person 4 times a year and make a short annual retreat together. Our commitment is to the Rule of St Benedict, to praying with and for one another, and to supporting our community.

We welcome people from all Christian denominations to explore with us. Those who decide to j
oin, after a period of discernment, will be invited to commit to our Rule (see below) and to making an annual oblation with the community.

We have a monthly (online) group to pray Lectio Divina together. That group, which meets on Saturday mornings is open to everyone. We have a monthly (online) book reading group - do ask for details. Our Rule:
Our Rule is the Rule of St Benedict as we discern its expression in the life of our community and in our daily lives. We commit to deepen our stability in Christ by meeting weekly to pray the Evening Office, practise Lectio Divina and read the Holy Rule. We understand that our conversion of life is rooted in our stability. It is a process of becoming, an openness to what God is calling us to become, both as individuals and a community. We seek to remember that the Rule describes itself as ‘a little rule for beginners’. Lectio Divina is a practice on which our conversion of life is based. We listen together and to one another and thus have an interaction with one another and with God. Individually and collectively we seek to be open to God by cherishing silence, listening deeply, discerning the will of Christ, walking humbly with God and others. Reflecting on our journey, stability doesn’t mean standing still. Our longevity as a community reflects our ability to be flexible.
