- The entire inner monastery area is a special place. The chapel and the church are places of silence. When the bell calls, we go into silence for prayer/meditation, not only to gather together, but also to collect ourselves inwardly.
- We eat our meals together. Breakfast is always in silence. Often also the evening meal. Silence does not mean speaking quietly, but not speaking. speaking. Body language: facial expressions and gestures, glances, hand movements and a smile a smile say more than a thousand words.
- We have a cleverly devised water system from the time of the brothers. Cisterns collect the precious rainwater for cooking, washing, showering and the toilet. Use water and cleaning products carefully.
- Smoking is not permitted anywhere within the walls of Romita. If you are unable to refrain from smoking, please enquire about the permitted smoking area. Note: there is a risk of forest fires in dry weather!
