Our Lady of the Redwoods Abbey
The Abbey of Our Lady of the Redwoods is a monastic community of the Trappistine branch of Cistercian nuns located in Whitethorn, California, within the Diocese of Santa Rosa.
==History==
The monastery was founded by two groups of nuns from the medieval Abbey of Our Lady of Nazareth (commonly called Brecht Abbey) in Belgium in 1962, the first arriving on the site on 1 November 1962. The nuns soon settled in and established themselves; they were formally declared a new monastic community on 15 August 1963. It was established as an independent abbey the following year, and the founding Mother Superior, Mother Myriam Dardenne, O.C.S.O., was elected the community's first abbess on 21 November 1964.〔(International website of the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance "Redwoods" )〕
The nuns led the traditional Cistercian rhythm of carving out a life of contemplation in harmony with the environment around them. The setting for this monastery in the huge Redwood Forest of California have given this monastery a unique sense of place and silence. They have created various creamed honey flavors which the sisters sell online and at the monastery. This with organic gardening and forestry helps to support the community. There is a guesthouse with twelve rooms available for visitors who wish to share in the rhythm of their lives.〔(Abbey website )〕
Mother Myriam led the community until 8 December 1989. The current Abbess is Mother Kathy de Vico, O.C.S.O., who was elected in 2000.
