The Trappist Way

The Trappist Way refers to the monastic lifestyle followed by members of the Trappist Order, a branch of the Cistercian monks. Established in the 17th century, this way emphasizes prayer, contemplation, and manual labor, with a strong commitment to silence and community living. Trappists seek to deepen their spiritual life through daily routines that include communal prayer, meditation, and work, often in agriculture or craftsmanship. They also produce various goods, such as cheese and beer, as part of their self-sustaining practices. The Trappist Way exemplifies simplicity, devotion, and a deep connection to spirituality and nature.
