St. Barbara Monastery is a monastic community for women in the Diocese of the West in the Orthodox Church in America. It is located in Santa Barbara, California. The community was founded in 1992 under the auspices of His Grace Bishop Tikhon of San Francisco and the West (now Bishop of San Francisco, Los Angeles and the West) in downtown Santa Barbara, and then moved 10 miles north in 1999.
The community consists of women living the monastic tradition of a Christ-centered prayer life for the monastic members. To support the community the nuns produce icon magnets, notecards, greeting cards, as well as through writing, teaching and operating a small bookstore.
