Monastery listings

[Robin Elizabeth]

Hello to all,

It's been awhile since I've posted anything, but I'm having a problem and I'm hoping you can help.

I'm interested in entering a monastery and have gotten my spiritual Father's approval with the advice that I visit a number of monasteries before I make up my mind where to go. He only knew of one women's monastery, and I have visited there.

My problem is that I'm having trouble finding information on other monasteries. I've had good luck with the OCA monasteries (they have a monastery link on their website), but am not so lucky with other jurisdictions.

I have tried just doing web searches, but I am having a hard time sorting out the info. Is there someplace that has a listing of American monasteries for women from all the canonical jurisdictions?

Thanks so much.
