Welcome to Sinclètica Monastic School!
Our school is open to all, located in a monastery, but non-confessional in scope. All are welcome.
We hold courses in an array of topics, all aimed at deepening our common humanity.
SINCLETICA comes from the Greek SYN (together) and CLETOS (convened), meaning ‘convened together’.
Convened by whom? By the artistic and the spiritual experiences that have shaken us.
Convened for what? To delve deeper into these experiences and to do it together.

Knowledge, Arts & Interiority
Main Program
OPEN REGISTRATION
course 2026-27
A two year program including Art & Science approaches from eight perspectives
presented as equal in practical and conceptual terms with equal lecture time:
literary, musical, fine arts, scientific, philosophical, political, theological and biblical.
The goal of the program is to expose students to multiple perspectives on four basic dimensions
of the human consciousness (personal/interpersonal/transcendent/immanent)
through concrete artistic and intellectual works and through shared experiences of silence.
18 Thematic Units
Each program consists of 18 thematic units taught over a weekend and approached from the 5 different perspectives mentioned above.
The topics covered are in this order: know thyself, love, grace, humility, silence, word, community, forgiveness, fulfilment, suffering, freedom, truth, prayer, joy, meaning, justice, innocence and solitude.
Students are thus invited to participate, beyond all disciplinary boundaries, in a true dialogue of the spirit that will enable them to critically analyze some of the basic dimensions of our common humanity.
Totes les classes són en anglès amb traducció simultània al català.

Welcome to Villa Engràcia (Poblet)
Since 2023, the Sinclètica Monastic School is held at Villa Engràcia during all on-site weekends.
Villa Engràcia is a hotel from 1888 located in the natural setting of the Mountains of Prades, at walking distance (1Km) from the medieval monastery of Poblet. The hotel coexists in harmony with nature and its colors and our students are invited to get together among its trees, leaves and sounds in order to follow the trails of tradition.
