Lay people are welcome, and it is a popular place for those wishing to explore monasticism to try it out for a while. Thomas Merton got his start at Gethsemani.

I've been wanting to go there myself for some time, just to enjoy the quiet. Even in my own home I have trouble meditating without being disturbed.

Thank you very much, I will be heading back to the states for the holidays, and perhaps this might be a place I could visit while there!
