The hospital for the soul stays open!
Note: our monastery did close to visitors for about two months at the beginning of the COVID lockdowns. After that we mandated masks for non-monks for several weeks. It took us some time to see the problem with these measures. We understand others can and do make those same mistakes now, and we hope that we can all be a little faster to see the truth this time around. We have been there. Let’s not go back. Stand firm! Stay open!
