BEN Talks
In this BEN Talks video series, monastic speakers describe the wisdom of Saint Benedict and the values that guide us on how to be in community with one another in a way that fosters the common good and nurtures each member of the community in becoming their best selves. Check out the one-minute BEN Talks promotional video below to better understand this series and how these videos can enrich us all.
We invite you to watch these BEN Talks to help deepen your understanding of the Benedictine values that are derived from The Rule of Benedict. There is no particular order to these videos; you may watch as many of them as you wish and in any order.
As you watch each BEN Talk, take time to reflect on how these Benedictine values can affect your own lives and work. Together, we can put this wisdom into practice and create a community where all can flourish.
