Cloistered Communities

Cloistered communities are religious groups, often within Christianity, where members choose to live separated from the outside world to focus entirely on prayer, worship, and spiritual duties. These communities typically reside in monasteries or convents, adhering to strict routines and vows of silence, poverty, and celibacy. Their primary goal is to dedicate their lives to spiritual development and service through contemplation and prayer, minimizing external distractions. Cloistered living allows members to cultivate a deep, personal relationship with their faith, often away from societal influences and everyday worldly concerns.
