Origins Facilities
Origins offers various spaces for times of input, sharing and meals.
Hermitage
Go sit in your cell and your cell will teach you everything.
Abba Moses 330-405 AD
Whoever sits in solitude and is quiet, has escaped from three wars:
The war of hearing;
The war of speaking;
The war of listening.
Then there is only one battle left in which to fight:
The battle for you own heart.
ABBA Anthony 251 – 356. AD
We live in a time of information overload. We keep on reading and studying, but do we really get in touch with the deepest part of ourselves? Does all the reading and studying make us healthier persons? Physically and spiritually?
Come experience sitting in your cell…
Come escape from the wars of hearing, speaking and seeing…
Become aware of the battle for your own heart.
