Projects

Black Lives & Contemplation cultivates a vibrant community where individuals explore the depths of their being through the lens of Black experiences. Through engagement in contemplative practices rooted in Blackness we hope to foster a deeper understanding of the Black diasporic contemplative tradition. By delving into rich texts, honoring the African Diaspora, and fostering a shared practice, we empower personal growth and collective healing.

Cathedral College, launching in September 2025 in Garden City, NY, is a new Anglican seminary offering a two-year Master of Arts in Theology and Spirituality. In partnership with Codrington College and the Center for Spiritual Imagination, the program blends pastoral training, spiritual formation, and communal living rooted in Anglican tradition.

The Center for Spiritual Imagination is developing a comprehensive contemplative prayer teacher training program rooted in Christian tradition, launching publicly in Fall 2028. The program includes courses on contemplative theology, leadership skill-building, practicum opportunities, and access to trusted external trainings.

The Center for Spiritual Imagination develops programs that integrate Christian contemplative practice with justice and spiritual formation, especially for young adults and underserved communities. Past projects include meditation and justice courses for spiritual seekers on college campuses, and “Contemplation on the Streets,” a food and spiritual care initiative serving those in need in Hempstead, NY.
