Follow your spiritual path and find your true calling with the Benedictine Women of Madison

Do you long for peace, prayer and community? Do you need freedom to reflect on your life’s purpose and deepen your spiritual practice? Are you feeling called, but don’t yet have clarity on what this call is or how you can answer it? 

We are here to walk the path of discovery and discernment with you, with the singular goal of helping you live your most authentic life.

Ground Yourself in the Monastic Rhythm of Life on the Prairie

We welcome women of any Christian denomination to enjoy quiet contemplation in nature and the heart-centered joy of our inclusive, open-minded sisters’ community, the Benedictine Women of Madison at Holy Wisdom Monastery. 

Leave the burdens of your busy life behind and experience the beautiful sanctuary of our 130 acres of restored prairie, woodlands, oak savanna and glacial lake.
