Located in the heart of Cambridge, Peace House is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to the cultivation of inner peace. We are a monastic residence that welcomes visitors – religious and non-religious – to share in the mystery and beauty of our sacred space. We care for the spiritual needs of our community by being a beautiful, calming refuge from the busyness of daily life.

A place for spiritual encounter, discovery, and practice.
Peace House offers space and programming for contemplation and spiritual development. We invite people to peruse our various offerings: self-directed silent retreats; daily chanting and meditation with the monks; online programming; or meeting one-on-one with a monk, visiting teacher, our director, Judy Beals, or our Board President, Karl Bandtel.

Occasionally, Peace House hosts special events and programming. We also make our first floor available to other organizations doing work consistent with our mission.

A community of contemplatives, explorers, and seekers.
Peace House is a beautiful, sacred place in which monastics and lay people, non-religious and religious, can contemplate and practice individually or in community. We provide welcoming spaces and programming centered around peace, belonging, and community for all people.

Vision
We imagine a world where everyone experiences inner peace, belonging, and community. We believe in the powerful transformation possible when community, inner peace, and outward peace are cultivated together.

Mission
To provide a sacred place that is first and foremost a monastic residence: a supportive place for monks to further their spiritual development. Second, through various offerings, we invite visitors to engage in spiritual discovery, meaningful community, and practice. We aim to create conditions where individual and collective peace, connection, and discovery can flourish.
