Visits Open to the Public

Visits open to the public are offered at the monastery only at certain times. Visitors can come to the monastery to just be "in silence" while residents work on projects. Residents interact with visitors only if Guided to do so.

The monastery is located in a very quiet and monastic place, surrounded by rock formations and mountains. It is very simple and there is a shared bathhouse and kitchen for guests.

These are the three options to stay at the monastery:

A) Simple option
This package does not include food or bed linens. You bring everything that you will need during the stay.

Bring your own food to the monastery to satisfy your individual needs and requirements, as we live a simple life and food preparation is a very minimal activity in our daily lives. There are grocery stores in Heber (an hour west) and in Duchesne (half an hour east), and a small country store half an hour west.

Bring your own tent and camp: 40 USD/night
Dorms with bunk beds or space in the tepees: 60 USD/night
On rare occasions there is a private cabin open: 75 USD/night

B) All inclusive option
When there is space available for lodging inside the monastery, and when volunteers are available to prepare food for guests, we can offer an all inclusive option. This includes a bed, bed linens and food. These are then the prices:

1 day visit = 100 USD
2-3 day visit = 90 USD/day
4-7 day visit = 80 USD/day

Counseling

Counseling session opportunities are available either in person with one of the Messengers of Peace or over the phone. The prices for these sessions are:

60 USD per hour
35 USD per half an hour

Work Volunteer Visits

There is a set fee of 600 USD per month for volunteers that have applied and have been accepted on a longer term basis (which is about 20 USD/day). This includes bed, bed linen, and food.
