New Monasticism

New Monasticism is a modern movement where individuals and communities adopt monastic principles—such as shared living, intentional community, simplicity, and service—while remaining engaged in everyday society. It emphasizes living out spiritual values through relational commitment, social justice, and hospitality, often addressing contemporary issues like homelessness and inequality. Unlike traditional monasteries, New Monasticism encourages participation within secular communities, seeking to embody faith actively and intentionally in daily life to foster holistic, compassionate, and transformative living.
