Thank you for your interest in brining together a virtual community interested in Carthusian life.

I would value being included in any mailings/discussions. I was first drawn to the Carthusians after having read the Novice Conferences published by Cistercian publications. I also have visited the Charterhouse in Vermont where I have spent some hours on the road above, on the mountain, singing psalms and drinking in the ambience and the silence. It is the fullness of the silence in this life that speaks to some inner core. I find support in this apsect of my "vocation" through affiliation as an Oblate with the Camaldolese in Big Sur. So, I would greately enjoy participating in this "community."

I would also value a reading list on Carthusian life or being able to read those works suggested in the Novitiate, as part of my on-going spiritual formation.

PAX
