God invites all of us to enter into a relationship with Him and be nourished by His endless Love. Some people respond to this invitation in a special way. They choose to live a life that is wholly devoted to God. Not because this makes them feel like better Christians. But because through this unconditional oath, they want to experience their relationship with God in a more intense manner.<\/h6><\/header>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;

We are well aware that entering a monastic community comes with quite substantial consequences and &#8211; in a sense &#8211; turns your familiar life upside down. That is why we offer a balanced pathway of introduction, induction and formation. Several years pass before candidates are asked to commit to Carmel permanently. During this period of discernment and reflection, the candidate\u2019s well-being is a priority at all times.<br \/>\nThe Carmel warmly invites people for this journey of discovery, but places it in God\u2019s hands whether a definitive choice for monastic life will be pursued.[\/vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mysticusworden.be\/en\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\"   class=\"tt_button tt_primary_button btn_primary_color hover_solid_secondary btn-align-left button-action-link   kd-animated zoomIn\" data-text=\"Read more\" data-animation-delay=200><span class=\"prim_text\">Read more<\/span><\/a>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-6&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1649766828464{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;13060&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; kd_background_overlay=&#8221;default&#8221; kd_background_image_position=&#8221;vc_row-bg-position-top&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1663669772676{padding-top: 46px !important;padding-bottom: 46px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.mysticusworden.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/achtergrond-bruin.jpg?id=12202) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221; css_tablet_portrait=&#8221;.vc_custom_1663669772679{margin-bottom: 50px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221; css_mobile=&#8221;.vc_custom_1663669772679{margin-bottom: 50px !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<header class=\"kd-section-title col-lg-12 text-left  vc_custom_1663855715604 kd-animated fadeIn\" data-animation-delay=200><h2 class=\"kd-main-title separator_off\" style=\"color: #c59a8e;\">Newsletter<\/h2><h6 class=\"subtitle\" style=\"color: #ffffff;\">This website could be the start of a fascinating quest.
