Conversations

A place for conversation about books, ideas, and practices

Although the Anchorhold is primarily a space for quiet retreats, beginning in February 2022, Wednesday nights will be times for conversations about ideas big and small, about how past ideas and practices might translate to our moment.

We will be starting in February with a series on “Anchoretic Spirituality.” Expect some historical context, some discussion of the concept of the idea of an anchorhold as sacred space, and some conversation about what these admittedly weird medieval urban hermits might have to teach us about living well in an era of relative social isolation.
