Ever wonder what life as a monk would be like? In this episode we talk to Sean Kramer about his story of how he met a monk, traveled to a European Monestary in the mountains and eventually became a monk for 20 years. He tells us what it was like to live in a monestary, what the daily life of a monk was, what they wore and what they were taught.

Sean lived as a monk and hermit for nearly 20 years. He teaches classes on world religions, philosophy, fairy tales, the Bible, Asian art and culture, art history.

That's one reason we like doing this podcast! We create a good space to listen to people. Sometimes we talk, but usually we let our guest do most of the talking. That's why they're on afterall!

Sometimes I say, "I hear myself all day long, I would like to hear someone else talk."

The world is full of talkers, but we do need a balance of talking and listening.

Simply talking to someone can help tremendously. The other person doesn't even have to say anything. People just want someone to listen to them.

I like the fact that the monestary has a person everyone can go to to talk.
