PRIVATE -- Shalom dear Nathalie, Do you happen to know of any nice monastery that accepts live-in volunteers (working in exchange for room and board)? I would like to do the monastic life experience like I did at Grandchamp in Switzerland. In Italy would be great. If you have any ideas please leave a private comment on my blog or email me at swissmist@hotmail.com . Thanks!
Thanks for your answer, Nathalie, I enjoyed how you worded that. [Not sure if my previous, second, message reached you. I hit enter for a line break and it disappeared.] I was saying that I would think that some convents that don't have enough "manpower" would welcome free labor. The (Protestant) Community of Grandchamp near Neuchatel welcomes volunteers and has a nice program to integrate them. You can take a look at http://grandchamp.org/pages/en/volontaires-en.html I ended up staying for a year and a half! Was hoping for something more "exotic" this time, e.g. Orthodox Christian of some sort. Thanks for letting me know if you hear of anything. Shalom from the desert
