Monastery founder, Athena Hewett, attended the Venice Film Festival to give Monastery facials and skin preps for Sofia Coppola, Chloë Sevigny, Greta Lee, Gemma Chan and Rashida Jones. Each actress received the bespoke Monastery facial; creating glowing and radiant skin for their respective red carpet looks. She also attended the premiere for Sofia's documentary, 'Marc by Sofia.' Athena recaps the trip and gives us her tips on the best things to do when in Venice.

This summer Monastery had the absolute pleasure to travel to Belize to visit the two Coppola Family Hideaways properties to train their spa staff on the Monastery facial and also get to enjoy the property and beautiful country that the family has called home for over 40 years.

Monastery recently celebrated the launch of the now sold out Attar 20ml tube in New York at the esteemed Jacqueline Sullivan Gallery.

In celebration of the launch of the Universal Balm, Monastery hosted an intimate event at our flagship spa for our community here in San Francisco. 

In collaboration with our friends at Pallas, a one a kind vintage bookshop located in San Francisco, & Sommer, a curated collection of artisanal objects based in Berkeley, we hosted an intimate celebration of the lunar new year guided by inspiration from the film ‘The Color of Pomegranates.’
