Cloistered Contemplative...so Many Options!

Have you heard of the Norbertine Canonesses in Tehachapi, CA? My sister is a novice with them, and they have everything that is on your list, save the barefeet ;)

I will echo what Gemma and Veni said ... to discern your spirituality :pray: Carmelite, Franciscan, Dominican, etc. Read the founder/resses (eg, Sts Francis & Clare, St. Teresa) and see what resonates most with your heart :heart: maybe you'll be attracted to a few, but one might draw you the most... prayers that you find His will :pray:
