A NEW DEPARTMENT

SOJOURN

Places to stay awhile — retreat houses, monasteries, ashrams, Quaker centers and intentional communities around the world, each with the practical facts: where it is, what tradition it stands in, how to book, what it costs, who owns it, and the simple pleasure of the place.

THE FIRST GUIDE

THE WORLDWIDE GUIDE · OCTOBER 2026

PLACES TO SOJOURN: 27 RETREAT HOUSES, MONASTERIES, ASHRAMS AND INTENTIONAL COMMUNITIES

From a Burgundy hotel Michael knows well to Mount Athos, Taizé, Plum Village, Findhorn, Auroville and Twin Oaks — booking instructions, costs, meals, ownership, telephone numbers and the simple pleasure of each, with license-free photography throughout.

More sojourn destinations will join this department in the months ahead.
