We have lost the ability to listen well. Many of us have forgotten how to listen to other people, to the world around us, even to ourselves. We are distracted by the attractions and entertainment which surround us, and we do not remember how to listen.
Listening is an essential skill in spiritual life. Please join us in learning and practicing contemplative listening.
We offer two regular opportunities to practice listening:
Online Centering Prayer
In addition to our own individual practices of listening to stillness, we gather online each week to practice listening together. Please join us each Wednesday at 8:30 AM Pacific time on Zoom for Online Centering Prayer.
Our practice follows a simple pattern of coming together for a common reading, taking time for sitting still and listening, and finishing with a second reading.
Online Quiet Mornings
We supplement our various contemplative practices by coming together online to take a little more time to practice listening.
One Saturday each month we spend a couple of hours together and practice becoming more open to what spiritual life has for us.
