Carmel of the Holy Spirit

The Carmel of the Holy Spirit is a religious community of women (often nuns) who follow the Carmelite tradition, focusing on prayer, spiritual growth, and seclusion from worldly distractions. Rooted in the Carmelite order established in the 12th century, they dedicate their lives to deepening their relationship with God through contemplation, Eucharist, and community life. Their name reflects their devotion to the Holy Spirit, seeking the Spirit’s guidance and presence. They live a prayer-centered life, often in monastic silence and simplicity, striving for inner purity and union with God.
