Abbey of Gethsemani

Trappist, Kentucky · January 8 – 12, 2027

Overview

Five days at the Abbey of Gethsemani, the Trappist monastery where Thomas Merton spent most of his life. Silence for most of the day, meals in the refectory, and the monastic hours of the community.

A shorter and less expensive option for those who want to test what a phone-free practice feels like. Not religious, but the rhythm of the place is the point.

I’m Jake. I’ve been a photographer for 14 years and have traveled to more than 65 countries. These journeys are my way of sharing a place I already know with people who want a slower way to travel. I scout every route personally.
