The Carmelite Institute is a collaborative effort of the entire Carmelite family in English-speaking North America. Through educational programs, publications, conferences, and other projects we seek to share the riches of our 800-year-old Carmelite tradition with all those interested in personal growth and a deeper spiritual life.
