00:00:08:16 Our school is called Sincletica Monastic School.
00:00:13:06 The name Sincletica is the name of a woman who lived in the
00:00:17:09 fourth century, Sincletica of Alexandria and she was...
00:00:21:16 ... she is Saint, and she was a woman who lived in the desert
00:00:26:11 one of the so-called Desert Mothers and
00:00:31:07 have still texts that she wrote that have arrived until our days.
00:00:37:06 She is an inspiring figure for us because we also try in the
00:00:41:09 monastery and with this project of the school to encourage
00:00:44:22 people to search your own depth, to not be afraid of
00:00:50:08 what is it that happens in my heart and what it is that my
00:00:55:09 creativity, this aspect of the person that is made in the image of God,
00:01:01:09 how it has been expressed along the centuries and we'll try to,
00:01:05:16 as we'll be explaining, and you'll see how the program also tries to invite you to look very carefully
00:01:12:08 to different, very different actually expressions of that search for the depth,
00:01:19:10 search for meaning and search for what you can call the expressions of the spirit in the human life.
00:01:27:19 Besides the inspiration of the historical figure of Sincletica of Alexandria,
00:01:33:12 there is also an interesting aspect to her name.
00:01:38:16 Her name, in Greek, you separate "syn" and "cletos".
00:01:41:16 "Syn" means together, "cletos" means called together or convened.
00:01:49:19 So the school also appeals to
00:01:52:12 all who might feel called to work together to explore together our common humanity.
