St Tikhon's Russian Orthodox

                 Monastery and Seminary

 

South Canaan Pennsylvania
The oldest Russian orthodox Monastery in America

We were able to visit the Monastery in 2005 and spend a night and day before traveling on to The Barn in Warwick-Amity. Gurdjieff's connection with the Orthodox Church added greatly to this visit. The kind reception by the Bishop, Monks, and Seminarian Teachers was great for us, and would be a wonderful experience for anyone near the Barn to visit and attend a cycle of services.
Write the Bishop for an invitation. Their website is  at http://www.stots.edu/
