Modern Monastery

Bringing the monastery to modern life

...

There are places you can go, that are dedicated to mindfulness. With people who have devoted their lives to practicing. People who have sat for decades, crossed continents, and given up ordinary life.

We created Modern Monastery to connect you with these places, and those people.

...

To make things easy, we've put together a Map of our favourite retreat centres, monasteries and communities; along with a Guide to make sense of it all.

Closer to home, we host Events that introduce you to the practices we love most.

Our Story

Hey, I'm Jack!

...

A few years ago, I sat my first meditation retreat. It was a transformative experience to say the least, and I've spent the years following exploring many different traditions and monasteries across Australia, Asia, Europe and the US.

On retreat, I have been lucky to experience a deep sense of joy and connection that has changed the way I see the world. My intention is to help more people experience the same.

This is the guide that I wish existed when I started out, and I hope it helps you on your journey.

- Jack
