6 Monks. No Internet. 1,100 Meters Up | Full Documentary

Deep in the mountains of Arcadia, far from any road most people will ever travel, six monks have been living by the same rhythms for centuries. This episode of Remarkable Habitats takes philosopher Phipe Sime to the Monastery of Agios Nicolaus Faron — perched at 1,100 meters in the Peloponnese — to ask a simple but radical question: What does it mean to design a life around meaning rather than convenience? What you'll discover in this episode: How the monastery's architecture — from its threshold to its central church — reflects a thousand years of Byzantine spatial thinking The tradition of Orthodox icon painting, and why every brushstroke follows strict theological rules How to prepare traditional monastic incense from Ethiopian resin The monastery's historic role as hospital, school, and refuge — and what that tells us about community What the philosophy of hospitality really means, in the words of Paul Ricoeur With contributions from Iona Stufi Paluminu, professor of Christian and Byzantine archaeology in Athens, and reflections from Father Abbott Melkisedc. A film about architecture. About silence. About the art of living differently. ➡ Fascinated by nature?
