Spiritual gatherings in Meteora

At Meteora, Orthodox monasteries sit on top of great sandstone pillars, suspended between earth and sky. Hermits sought these rocks for solitude long before the monasteries were built, and several are still home to monks and nuns today.

The sacred life of Meteora

History

Hermits lived in the caves of the rocks for centuries before monastic communities were founded here from the fourteenth century. Six monasteries remain active, and Meteora is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Why it’s sacred

One of the great centres of Orthodox contemplative monasticism, where the landscape itself speaks of withdrawal and prayer.

Questions about practising in Meteora

Do I need to book, or can I turn up?
Book. Rooms have limited capacity and the free evenings often fill faster than the paid ones, because nothing is risked by registering.
I've never been to anything like this — is that okay?
Look for the first-timer mark. Every listing that carries it has answered the questions a newcomer is afraid to ask. Plenty in Meteora are made for a first visit.
What if the price is the obstacle?
Many gatherings here are free, and some facilitators offer a sliding scale — pay what you can, no questions asked, and no one sees what you chose.
How do I hear about new dates?
Follow a facilitator and you're told when they open something in Meteora. No other notification is sent unless you ask for it.
Is everything in person?
No — some gatherings are held online, and each listing names its format and, for online ones, the time zone.
