WMF Solitude Chair

$ 250.00

The WMF Solitude Chair is modeled after the kind used by the Trappist monks, like Thomas Merton, of the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky. It is handmade by a local wooodworker and former WMF staff and board member.

It includes a burned etching of the Word Made Flesh logo on the back and the WMF Bird cutout from the carving of the handle is shipped with the chair.

Ships in 2 pieces. Shipping not included and shipping cost will vary by location.
Chairs may vary in color depending on the availability of different woods. Generally, the chairs will be made from oak, cherry, or walnut.

Note from the artist: It can be disconcerting to be alone with our own thoughts for an extended period of time. Most of us are good at finding ways to avoid ourselves and the complexity into which we must plunge if we are to come to see and know who we are. Delving inward in this manner can only occur in solitude where the usual attachments and distractions of life are stripped away.

This is not something we can rush into hastily. But with God’s high fidelity claim on our hearts, Word Made Flesh is pleased to offer a simple instrument that may well slow you up a little. Consider a handmade, reclaimed wood solitude chair. Sit in it, and discover anew just how fully known you are.
