Become more Present with God and with Others
Urban Monastics
Urban Monasticism is an invitation to intentional living by embedding monastic rhythms into your days, weeks, and seasons. To live as a monastic is a lifelong journey. A way of life rooted in the grace of Christ.

Get Started with Practices
These practices are a simple invitation to experience aspects of a monastic life. To meet with God through the contemplative, meditative practices, and to experience a new pathway of spiritual growth.
Divine Office
Try praying at least one liturgical prayer a day for a few weeks. Learn more about the Divine Office.
Commitment
Our Commitment is rooted in over 1000 years of monastic wisdom. Dive into what it looks like to implement it into your daily life.
Spiritual Practices
Add a new spiritual practice to your daily rhythm (like a Daily Examen or Lectio Divina).
Join our virtual meetings
Join us for our monthly Gatherings: an open, affirming, welcoming space to pray Vespers together, take communion, and join in conversation. Or join us for a Moment to explore a spiritual practice together.

Meeting Together
Gatherings
Together we celebrate two of our most important practices. During our gatherings we pray the Divine Office, share the sacrament of the Eucharist, and engage in conversation. Join us for our monthly Gathering!
Moments
These times of meeting together are focused on a singular expression, practice, or conversation. The hope is that these times can encourage, equip, and bless those who come.
Recent Writing
Urban Monastics is in process of translating our own breviary to provide for the community. The goal is to have texts translated from the original sources that are ecumenical and have inclusive language for all people. It is our goal to publish reflections on each passage that is translated. You can learn more about our approach here.
