Monasteri dabo ni makao ya wamonaki ambayo yana sehemu kwa wanaume na nyingine kwa wanawake, lakini kanisa ni la pamoja^[1].

Mtindo huo ulianzia karne ya 4 katika Ukristo wa Mashariki ^[2] ukaenea Magharibi baada ya Kolumbani, lakini ulikatazwa na Mtaguso wa pili wa Nisea (787) ^[3]. Uamuzi huo ulichukua muda kutekelezwa, lakini mtindo huo ulijitokeza tena baada ya karne ya 12 hasa Uingereza chini ya Gilberti wa Sempringham.
