The Magdala Monastery rests on the commitment of the Magdala Mother to practice her daily “rule” through centering prayer and the work of her every day living as a woman and as a mother. Holding fast to the belief we all are interconnected in the web of life, this means that the work of The Magdala Mother radiates throughout time and space by the women who are committed to their daily practice. Unlike traditional monastic structures, where prayer and work are woven together in a rigid structure, The Magdala Mother embraces a non linear understanding of time and trusts that no matter the time of her prayer and work, they honor the Divine. The devotional life of The Magdala Mother is anchored in the current of Deep Time alongside the women who have gone before and the women who will come after.
