the mystery
Monastery Mystery Movement is a space for serious and silly, for ritual and reflection, and time of co-living. It is a place to ask questions, learn about yourself, build connections and celebrate creativity in a conscious, phone-free, low stress way.


Many people are struggling with questions on their own. We noticed the loneliness, the waiting lists for therapy, the burn-out. We all have life questions that need to be explored.
So we started opening up to each other and we formed a team of coaches, experience designers and mental health professionals. 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 modern-day movements.
Once a year, we create space to practice co-living, resourcing, and expanding possibility. We are creating a movement for community and life questions. You can join us!
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.
