We welcome you to the monastery and thank you for your willingness to come and join with us in healing our minds.  The Living Miracles Monastery (LMM) offers a context for training the mind to hear and follow the Holy Spirit’s guidance.  We use our time together to learn how to truly communicate with each other.  Our general guidelines are:

1) No private thoughts
2) No people pleasing. 

As we join together and develop trust in one another, we naturally lay down our ‘masks’ and expose our hidden beliefs.  This allows the Holy Spirit to heal our minds and lead us to the awareness of Truth.  At LMM we are learning to hear the One Voice together.
