A Place Apart's Next Steps

For the past several years, A Place Apart has been preparing the way for what's next by preparing properties, teaching, setting vision, praying, and listening. Now, it's time to discern what to do with all that we have begun to discover while remaining in constant seeking, humbly acknowledging the mystery of God.

A Place Apart seeks a "Warrior, Mystic, Monk" lifestyle--individually in one's life, on a personal retreat at A Place Apart Vermont, through community on a local level meeting more intentionally for discernment, and through communities of persons who have related to A Place Apart meeting for a similar purpose.

Our hope is that A Place Apart may nurture individuals and communities, including churches, seeking intentional discipleship rooted in discernment and the exploration of a new monasticism.
