An aspirant is a woman who is interested in our Dominican contemplative life. After making contact with our monastery, she keeps in touch with letters, emails and phone calls, and makes a visit or two. If she has a serious interest in joining us, she can apply to spend a portion of time inside the enclosure, wearing her own clothes, living with the novitiate and seeing what life in the cloister is like. The period of aspirancy, from initial contact to acceptance into the postulancy, is twelve months.
