The Monastery Method Workshop

$0.00

What can ancient monasteries teach us about the way we live and work today? More than you'd expect.

This workshop draws on nearly a decade of hands-on research inside monasteries, temples, mosques, and synagogues across four continents: from Zen gardens in Japan to Sufi kitchens in Morocco to Benedictine abbeys in the American Midwest. It's not about religion or faith. It's about the daily habits that have kept contemplative communities grounded, connected, and resilient for centuries and what happens when we bring those habits into our modern lives and workplaces.

In this 60–90 minute session, your group will explore how:

  • to build daily rhythms that honor both productivity and rest

  • the practice of community investment

  • why monasteries thrive on mutual obligation and how teams can too

  • resilience through simplicity

  • finding strength in having less rather than more

  • the power of rituals: small, repeatable practices that create steadiness in unpredictable times

  • intergenerational wisdom: what centuries-old communities know about adapting without losing their identity.

Participants leave with practical, actionable tools they can apply immediately, not abstract philosophies, but concrete shifts in how they structure their days, their teams, and their attention. This workshop has been delivered to corporate teams, creative organizations, wellness retreats, and private groups of all sizes.

Led by Jody Eddy, James Beard-nominated and IACP Award-winning author of Elysian Kitchens, a book inspired by this research, and founder of Story Feast Collective, which hosts immersive experiences at sacred spaces around the world.

Available virtually via Zoom or in-person by arrangement (and location dependent). Perfect for corporate off-sites, team retreats, conferences, wellness programs, community gatherings, and private gatherings.

Every workshop participant receives a 30% discount on The Monastery Method: 30 Days of Ancient Practices for Modern Living: a practical digital guide that deepens the workshop experience with additional practices, reflections, and a framework for building intentional habits that last. It's the perfect companion to take what you've learned in the session and weave it into your daily life.
