Living thoughtfully
Oirschot Monastery
In Oirschot, we are collaborating with the Franciscan Sisters on their wish to introduce new generations to their intangible heritage. The focus is not on faith or monastic life itself, but on the philosophy that has shaped their lives. The sisters have distilled this into five relevant life questions: Do you dare to listen to yourself? Do you dare to follow your own path? Can you live with less? Do you have an eye for others? And do you have respect for nature?

In a new pavilion located in the old monastery garden—designed by Kraaijvanger Architects—we are creating an experience where visitors actively engage with these questions. Stories from monastic history alternate with contemporary perspectives, while assignments and moments of reflection invite personal interpretation. In this way, these life questions become practical tools for living thoughtfully
