Why Monk?

    A monk is typically understood as a person who practices asceticism by monastic living, either alone or with any number of other monks. We will never become them. But who amongst us won’t benefit from a little more simplicity, concentration and mindfulness.​

    Products, systems and buildings can learn a lot from Monks.
