Teachers & guides
Samuel Robinson, Yvonne, and the visiting teachers who carry the work forward.
The Hermitage was never the building
What Friar Justin built keeps going: people in the United States, Australia and Europe who found the quiet space within, and found each other. Cherished belonging, through shared human seeking rather than doctrine.

Eight around one
The mark is a map of how this community works: many seats around one quiet center that nobody owns. Some seats are cities. Some are circles that meet online. One of them is yours.
Stories
Forty years of people whose lives were changed, and the endorsers who said so in print.
Membership
A family tier for those who want to belong more deeply. A free tier, always.
Coming in phase two
A home for the community
Hermitage World is growing into a place to belong online, not only a place to read about. What members have asked for, and what we are building toward:
Your own space
A profile, your practice, and the people you sit with.
Circles
Small groups by place or by interest, with their own room to talk between gatherings.
Favorites
Save meditations, homilies and the gatherings you come back to.
Notifications your way
Choose what reaches you, and how often.
Your library
Everything you’ve bought, and everything membership opens, in one place.
Rooms in a circle
Video gatherings where everyone sits in a ring, not a grid.
