Discover Your Inner Nun
Every christian is called to cultivate a spiritual life that nurtures his soul and the relationship to God. We call this part of life the inner nun. As cistercians we put special focus on discovering, developing and nourishing this inner nun in order to become nuns through and through, inside and out. This website is designed for women seeking simplicity and spiritual guidance in their daily lives. We want to share our experience through online ressources and on site retreats to help you on your spiritual journey.

Seligenthal Abbey
Besides online ressources, we offer women the unique opportunity to embark on a journey of transformation and renewal. Our "Work and Pray"-retreat is hosted at Seligenthal Abbey, a historical monument of great importance founded almost 800 years ago. Cistercian nuns, who still reside there, have dedicated their lives to prayer, contemplation and educating children, creating an atmosphere of profound spiritual energy. We invite you to join us, engage in our way of life, and find inspiration & guidance for your spiritual journey.
Cistercian Life
Cistercian life is about finding balance between dedicated prayer and meaningful work. We believe in serving others and loving our fellow humans, just as we learn from our efforts to educate children through our apostolate schools. We live by the Rule of St. Benedict, which encourages us to approach our spiritual lives with simplicity and humility as we seek a deeper connection with God.
