Women's monasteries, hermitages, communities?
I'd like to investigate situations for staying long term in a monastic setting. I'd like to start with places in CA, and then branch out to the rest of the US and the world. I am particularly interested in places where there are permanent or long-residing nuns, but it's not mandatory.Any recommendations would be welcome. Thank you.

Thank you! I think you had recommended Mahapajapati before; I visited last year - it was wonderful. Thank you. I will check out Dhammadharini when I'm able.DNS wrote: ↑Tue Sep 04, 2018 3:02 am http://www.mahapajapati.com/ (about halfway between LA & Vegas)

If you're interested in Northern California, there's Aloka Vihara: https://alokavihara.org/
Weather is nicer for my tastes (I am biased of course because I live in Norcal).

In Perth, Ontario, Canada, there is Sati Sārāņīya Hermitage.
On the Sonoma Coast near Jenner, California: Aranya Bodhi Hermitage.
There is also the directory from the Alliance for Bhikkhunis.
