Hello, is it possible to request audience with Brother David?
You can go on a personal retreat at this monastery. They have facilities for that. You can contact them through the website to ask your specific questions regarding what you would like to do.
That is a question I would definitely say stop in and speak with them, or if that's not possible give them a call. I've seen many many brochures in the gift shop that could also help with the answer to your questions.
It is a Benedictine Monastery. The Brothers are mainly quiet. The attend Mass and the daily Divine Office/Liturgy of the Hours. They also rear sheep and do other work in maintaining their extremely vast, secluded and beautiful property. The Benedictine motto is "Ora et Labora" - Work and Prayer. And that's exactly what they do!
That would be a question to ask the Brothers. They do have rooms and cottages for people that want to experience religious retreats. They have a suggested fee to stay in their different types of housing.
Thanks! Your answer is awaiting moderation.
