Monastic Interns

Summer Monastic Internships

Come experience the Benedictine monastic way of life in a summer internship program for women.  The program runs from the beginning of June to mid-August.  Dates are negotiable and shorter stays are possible.  If your school offers credit internships, we can work with your advisor to plan an internship to earn college credit.

Interns assist the Sisters with organic gardening, library organization, and animal husbandry with the farm's award-winning cashmere goats and summer 4-H program.  Interns receive instruction and mentoring in prayer and meditation, lectio divina and the Rule of St. Benedict in everyday life.

Qualifications:
  1. Commitment to Christian discipleship with a desire to deepen your relationship with God.
  2. Be in good health with the ability to perform physical tasks.
  3. Be at least 18 years of age or older.
  4. Be comfortable with animals, silence, older generations and working with youth.
