Carmelite Hermitage of the Blessed Virgin Mary

I believe MW and Fr. Daniel Mary and used to members of this community in Minnesota; they then left to found the new community, the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming. A photo from the latter:

Their website has been updated with a lot more pictures. Plus there is this explanation of their tonsure. Mystic Monk Coffee is still up and running.

The Carmelites in Minnesota have been approved as a community of Mt. Carmel (O. Carm., not OCD. Did this factor in the decision of them to leave? I know they were devoted to St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila). I don't know where the Wyoming Carmelites are in the process of being recognized.

While I am a fan of many of the Carmelite saints (especially all of the Teresas) and my mother seems to really appreciate them, I wouldn't consider myself as having a "Carmelite" spirituality. (I identified more with a Jesuit spirituality at one time, and a Benedictine one later.)
