Episode Details

Estonia just welcomed its first Orthodox monastery in 80 years — Kirikla Monastery, tucked into a farmhouse where Bishop Damaskinos and monk Paisios are pioneering a new monastic life. In a deeply secular country, this marks a vital step for the Estonian Apostolic Orthodox Church, which has lacked male monastics for decades. The monks live a rhythm of prayer, labor, and silence — a refreshing antidote to digital overload that’s surprisingly drawing young seekers. Their prayers extend beyond the monastery’s walls, reaching the world. Though small, this rare European monastic revival offers spiritual refuge and a beacon of hope for rebuilding community in a modern world.
