Skete of St. Anne

The Skete of St. Anne is a small monastic community within the Eastern Orthodox tradition, primarily focused on spiritual prayer, meditation, and communal life. It functions as a spiritual retreat or place for monks or nuns dedicated to a life of worship, reflection, and service. Typically located in a tranquil setting, it emphasizes asceticism and deepening one’s faith through dedication to prayer, study, and silence. The name "Skete" suggests a semi-hermitic lifestyle, with members living in individual or small group cells while gathering periodically for communal worship and support.
