Frequently asked questions

Is it possible to live with you in the monastic community for a certain period of time?

From Easter to the end of October we offer the possibility to live and help as a volunteer for a shorter or longer period. In August, we offer the Canaan Team Summer Program, where young women from different countries come together for spiritual deepening in addition to helping out.

What are the requirements to become a sister?

Of course, such a question cannot be answered in a few sentences. The most important prerequisite is a burning heart for Jesus, a clear calling from God and the ability to live in community. The age limit for joining is usually between 20 and 40 years.

What our teammates say

"

My time at Kanaan has exceeded all my expectations! When I arrived in August, I didn't know exactly what to expect, but was looking forward to experiencing life in a sorority, meeting new people, and hopefully deepening my faith. Six months later, I cannot describe what this time has meant to me, except to say that it has changed my life.

Thinking back now to the Kanaan days, I think it should be the same! With all the questions that were answered and those that were not yet answered, with the inspiring people, conversations and stories. I will definitely come back again, although I don't know exactly when that will be.
