Internship: Eco-spirituality experience at Holy Wisdom Monastery
 Benedictine Women of Madison offers an eco-spirituality experience for single women between the ages of 20 and 50. Volunteers spend anywhere from two weeks to two months living in community at Holy Wisdom Monastery, located near Madison, Wisconsin. The grounds include a 10,000-year old glacial lake, wooded nature trails, native prairie and beautiful gardens. Volunteers work about four hours each day, spend time with the community in prayer and at meals, deepen their spiritual awareness through guided reflection and conversation, and take time for themselves as well.
The timeframe for this experience is June 18-July 13, 2012. The minimum stay is two weeks, and you can apply for up to a four week stay. Room and meals are provided.
