✦ THE SYMPOSIUM

A shared inquiry

A meeting of Benedictine tradition and climate research. Around thirty researchers are invited to study the Bay of Mont Saint-Michel together, in the spirit of prayer and work, attention to place and care for the land.

The first working day diagnoses the bay’s strengths and weaknesses through five workshops. The following days ask what the Benedictine way can teach us from other places, across space and time, and whether a neo-Benedictine way is possible.
