Modern Day Monastery

A nunk cares for the body, mind and spirit and for all sentient beings on the planet. Care is the way we tune in to devotion, presence and love. Instead of fighting, a nunk feeds, tends and cares for life. This is a dedication to practicing sustainability in everyday life. A nunk understands that we only move toward this goal in community.

A nunk practices integration of mind, body and spirit. Moving toward a more aligned state of being. This means accepting the paradox of life itself. Unifying light and dark, and walking the path of unity in ourselves and the world. We seek wisdom. Wisdom from the body, nature and the natural patterns of this world. We do not hold our beliefs too tightly. We leave room for new information to surface and the opportunities for transformation to take hold in us.

A Nunk is a modern day contemplative cultivating awareness and presence in a busy modern world. There are a lot of “normal” not so healthy habits and ways of being in the world. A nunk dedicates themselves to the process of “unlearning” unhealthy “normalized” behaviors and seeks more natural, sustainable ways of living. This includes reconnecting with ourselves, our earth and God in ways that align with our true nature.

A nunk tends to the fire of the soul. There is a living, breathing creative force living in all life on this planet. A nunk acknowledges the gift of this force and practices tuning into this truth each and every day. A nunk looks for life in all things. This includes looking for life in ourselves, our neighbor, earth and God, even when things are difficult. We tune into the creativity of life and give thanks for the whole of creation.
