Bespoke Experiential Learning + Team Building with Nature & Art

Get to know...the mystery

Monastery Mystery Movement is a play-testing space and time of co-living. It is a place to learn about yourself, build connections and celebrate creativity in a conscious, phone-free, low stress way.

We are a team of experience designers and coaches. We have life questions we need to explore. We have been listening...and it turns out many more people are struggling with questions on their own. We believe in collective learning, community and finding purpose together. That's why we've designed Monastery Mystery, an annual get-away to explore our questions, share insights and be seriously silly. We are inspired by ancient rituals, as well as more modern movements. Once a year, we create space to practice co-living, resourcing, and expanding possibility.

Open the doors of possibility...

Our team

Our strength lies in our individuality. We are four very different humans, with very different stories — and a shared devotion to living a life that is true, alive, and consciously chosen.

Each of us has walked away from versions of life that no longer fit. Each of us knows something about leaving the familiar, questioning the given, and choosing authenticity over comfort.
