MAISON SAINT-BRUNO - CHARTREUSE DE SÉLIGNAC
The Carthusian monastery of Sélignac was founded in 1202 by the Carthusian monks.
Founded in 1202 by the chartreux monks, the Chartreuse de Sélignac has its history inscribed in stone. Surrounded by 180 hectares of forest, it experienced the presence of the monks until 2001. Since then, it has been taken up by laity and continues to welcome Saint Bruno in order to live a time of desert in prayer. The great silence and solitude of the Chartreuse combine to allow meditation. The commitment is demanding, you must spend a minimum of eight days leaving behind the phone and computer. It is in a cell of chartreux that the reagent will spend his time. If he wishes, he can be accompanied in his approach with God. It is a community with those present and may share offices and various activities: garden maintenance, cleaning… Think that in Selignac it is very cold winter. The cells are well heated, but the temperature of the corridors and the church is the zero degree.
