While every group is different, I have witnessed so much courage, vulnerability, and true connection (even over Zoom!). Folks from many walks and stages of life come together to deepen in contemplative practice, to engage in quiet presence to the movements of the Divine in their lives, and to accompany one another on the journey to deeper knowing.

I’ve heard some folks question the purpose of contemplative space, given the overwhelming injustices erupting in our world, destabilization by climate change, war, authoritarianism, and violence. Yet this is exactly the time when the power of contemplative practice and collective discernment becomes most potent.
