Bonnevaux

Life in Bonnevaux: coming to Stay

The soul of Bonnevaux is its small residential community. This is a group of people living together in the spirit of the 1500-year-old Rule of St Benedict. It is an ‘open cloister’ inspired by the essential elements of monastic wisdom. We try to live peacefully while being aware of the turbulence of the world today and contributing as we can to healing its divisions.

Volunteers and guests who make their time at Bonnevaux part of their spiritual journey are invited to experience our faith in the power of contemplation to heal the world.

Spirituality and Religion in a Time of Change Now on WCCM+

Laurence Freeman explores the shifting landscape of spirituality and religion in the modern world, contrasting past and present approaches to faith, authority, and experience. Through reflections on monastic life, meditation, and the teachings of figures like John Main and Abbot Marmion, it invites a deeper understanding of prayer, identity, and the enduring question: what is religion truly for?

 

Watch on WCCM+

We are growing as a community of meditators in more than 100 countries, committed to developing a contemplative Christian life for our time and to dialogue between religion, science, business and art, body and mind. At the heart of this community is the meeting of many weekly groups, both physically and online, which introduce the essential teaching of meditation and help to deepen the inner journey. Personal transformation leads then to social and global transformation.

Connecting with the Community
“I think meditation could play an integral role going forward, because it brings people together."

"Meditation breaks down defensiveness, encourages generosity and helps us become more open to seeing all creation forming one extended household or estate on our planet."
Kerry James

"Home now has a physical location. And this week has been the first time that I have meditated in person with people. The experience of doing it together as part of a community has been very, very special. There’s a vibrancy in the silence, that makes it so more present and more real."
