People have always felt the need to live a holistic life. The social, political, economic and ecological problems leave us helpless and powerless. Our present cannot satisfy the longing for a holistic life. Yet never before have so many different models of life been possible as they are today. And yet – with so many possible ways of living – a convent in a monastery where seven conventuals currently live together with the abbess and are involved in social, cultural and educational areas seems strangely out of touch with the times. What is their perspective, their view of our present? Do they lead a holistic life? How do they perceive their world around them? Are they at one with themselves? What can one learn from them?
