Experience Day at Westerhûs Monastery
31 March
You are warmly invited to the Experience Day on Tuesday 31 March 2026. At Westerhûs Monastery, everything breathes peace and space: the grounding rhythm of monastic life, the simplicity of the building, and the wide-open landscape surrounding it. Are you in need of a day just for yourself , a chance
On this day, you share in the rhythm of monastic life together with the other guests. The day begins with morning prayer in the chapel. Over coffee, there is time to get to know one another. We then roll up our sleeves for monastery work, either indoors or outdoors. After lunch, you’ll have time for yourself, followed by a conversation with one of the community members. After tea, we take part together in a Nijkleasterkuier — a walk in a rhythm of silence, reflection and connection — through the meadowland surrounding the monastery. The day concludes with the afternoon service in the chapel.
The cost of an Experience Day at Westerhûs Monastery is €35.
In 2026, Experience Days will take place on Tuesday 31 March, Thursday 16 July and Thursday 19 November.
