New Monk – Christine Valters Paintner 

“We are essentially exploring what it means to be a ‘new monk’ – one who lives beyond the monastery walls but brings the gifts and graces of monastic tradition to everyday life. We are also discovering what it is to be a ‘new artist’ – one who seeks to satisfy a deep longing of the soul by making space for the delight and passion of creativity. These two paths meet in several places.”
