 Morning Star Over the Hermitage Reproductions that cost about $100 or less are available at Immaculate Heart Hermitage, Big Sur, California. Their bookstore carries them. Sometimes one must ask to see one. I have about four small reproductions. They are a little less money, and fit the available wall space in my smallish apartment in Mill Valley, CA (North of San Francisco). That is five hours away from the Hermitage in Big Sur. But then I stop frequently when taking a longish trip. Others make it faster to the Hermitage for a retreat or preached retreat. That is, they make it in less time than I from this same area. They have not large available numbers of guest rooms and trailers to accommodate guests. One frequently, and most likely, must reserve a place a year in advance. People visit from all over the world. Travelers on the widely admired and scenic California Route One stop at the monastery chapel or its bookstore. That with the hermitage grounds is about a mile or so from the main road near the small town of Lucia, Big, Sur, CA. You may find it on Google Earth. I should check that out myself, while I mentioned it. |
 Full Moon Over Big Sur Father Arthur was originally a Franciscan who changed to the contemplative Camaldoli Benedictine Order. He lives and works in their Study House, Incarnation Monastery. The urban monastery is located in Berkeley, CA near the Graduate Theological Union (GTU) GTU is located near the North Gate of the University of California at Berkeley. To me, it is a huge university, part of the California University System. |
 Big Sur Spring The main and largest Camaldoli monastic home is in California's Big Sur. This view is what is seen from Immaculate Heart Hermitage (at least thereabouts). I've been to their monastery in Big Sur, more popularly known as New Camaldoli. |
