Gen Z women are fleeing society and checking into convents this summer

A new summer trend is emerging, and it does not include the beach. TikTokers say Catholic convents and monasteries are fully booked this season, as women seek a spiritual, silent escape from the chaos of modern life. One creator, @mc667868, went viral after revealing she was turned away from her usual upstate monastery due to demand. Her video resonated with other users on the platform who are embracing “vow of silence summer,” citing burnout and a desire to live among women, in peace.
