As he asks in the Prologue of his Rule\, “is there anyone here who yearns for life and desires to see good days?” \n\n\n\nA resounding “yes”! \n\n\n\nThis year’s Oblate Institute will feature Judith Valente\, writer\, international speaker and Mount oblate who will lead us on a path to find these good days.  We will travel on a journey that studies Benedict’s tools for good works\, use of the psalms and a yearning to bring good zeal into our lives. \n\n\n\nAs a hybrid experience\, there are a number of attendance options for you.  \n\n\n\n\nIn person attendance with single room – $450\n\n\n\nIn person attendance with shared room – $400\n\n\n\nCommuter (presentation\, social\, and meals included\, but no room) – $300\n\n\n\nZoom – $100\n\n\n\n\nFor those attending in-person\, you also have the option to arrive a day early (add $55)\, stay a day late (add $55)\, or both (add $110).  \n\n\n\nSpace is limited—please register early. \n\n\n\nAfter receiving your registration\, you will receive a confirmation email from us which will be your invoice.  \n\n\n\n*Read about our cancellation and refund policy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJudith Valente\n\n\n\nJudith Valente is a journalist\, poet and the author of six spirituality titles and three poetry collections. She is an oblate of Mount St. Scholastica Monastery in Atchison\, KS\, which is the subject of her award-winning memoir\, Atchison Blue: A Search for Silence\, A Spiritual Home and a Living Faith.  She is also the author of How To Live: What The Rule of St. Benedict Teaches Us About Happiness\, Meaning and Community; as well as co-author ofThe Art of Pausing; and How To Be\, the latter two books written with Brother Paul Quenon\, a monk of the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky. Judith guides frequent retreats on how to live a more contemplative life in the secular world and leads the annual “Benedictine Footprints” retreat/pilgrimage to lesser-known parts of Italy. Her newest book is The Italian Soul: How to Savor the Full Joys of Life\, about what we can learn from the Italian lifestyle about living more mindfully and joyfully.
