Radical Balance and Reconciliation
Discover a powerful, spiritually centered, and eminently practical alternative to our often fragmented existence.
Welcome the balance and harmony of a cloistered community—into your own environments—home, family, the workplace, and daily life in a complex world.
Anchored through a complement of gatherings and resources at Washington National Cathedral—and experienced in a dynamic constellation of individuals, communities, and organizations—this pioneering “monastery beyond walls” provides encouragement and support for all who desire stability, wisdom, and harmony in their lives. Whatever your life stage, faith tradition, or perspective—join us as guest, friend, and companion on the journey of radical balance and reconciliation.
The best way to experience the Community—is to experience the Community! Follow the links at right for gatherings and events or call (202) 537-6217 or email companions@cathedral.org for a personal invitation!
