ABBEY

Five women from the secular world try to adopt the habit of the nun's life during a 33-day stay at a Benedictine convent. Imagine a world offering peace and tranquillity, and you're there to contemplate the deeper side of lifeno blaring phones, no family dramas, no frustrating work… just you and your desire to discover life's meaning. Sounds too good to be true? Welcome to The Abbey. Leave behind the hurly-burly of modern life to embark upon a search for meaning, spirituality and self behind the walls of an enclosed order. Immerse yourself in the world of The Abbey and live by The Rule of Silence and Obedience. Take a leap of faith and discover things about yourself and life that you never knew. Learn what the spirit of community living is all about as you share the nuns daily routine of prayer, farm work, craft and domestic tasks. Throughout the challenge of living in this other world, you will have a Sister-mentor to listen, support and guide you. Will this life hold any relevance to you as a contemporary Australian woman? Will spiritual contemplation and prayer have the power to transform your life or will you find it too hard a cross to bear?
