I'm looking for information about the spirituality and charisms of the different orders of religious.

For example, I know that the Dominicans hold study and education very dear, the Franciscans are very focused on devotion, etc.

Where can I get more info about the spirituality of orders such as Dominicans, Franciscans, Carmelites, Ursulines, etc?

Your question is a great one, and has been asked many times here on Phatmass. I think the frequency with which this topic (charisms) comes up is a testament to our desire to serve God in a particular (and individually best) way possible.

As for a personal reflection, I don't know if I would be very articulate. In terms of suggesstions, I would offer this as my two cents: visit communities/members of communities who embody different charisms, and read about the founder(ess) of each community/order.

Also, here are some old threads that might help you with an answer:
