Transfiguration Hermitage: Windsor, Maine
Transfiguration Hermitage is a monastic community following the Rule of St. Benedict, dedicated to a life of prayer for the needs of all people and outreach to anyone seeking spiritual growth. The Benedictine life of prayer and solitude revolves around times of daily prayer together in chapel and solitary prayer in the silence of the hermitage.
The community supports the hermitage by offering retreats and workshops, spiritual direction, and through the generosity of friends and benefactors. They also produce food items for sale, and work at writing or at other tasks consonant with the monastic life.
Founded in 1997 in Thorndike, Maine, Transfiguration Hermitage is now located on a beautiful hill in Windsor, just east of Augusta, Maine's capital city. With acres of rolling hills, woods, meadows, and blueberry fields, a lovely stream and gardens, the Hermitage grounds offer a relaxed, contemplative openness to the beauty of God's creation.
