Weekly Meditation and Contemplative Prayer (Brooklyn, NY)
Wednesdays through May 22, 2024
7pm to 8pm ET
In Person Only
Each week, we will practice making conscious contact with God by showing up as we are, gathering all of our fears, anxieties, and life circumstances that need special care, and simply bringing them to God. On alternating weeks, we will offer guided meditation. Other weeks, we will simply create a silent and sacred space for self-guided contemplation.

"We are all addicted to our own habitual way of doing anything, our own defenses, and, most especially, our patterned way of thinking, or how we process reality." - Fr. Richard Rohr
The Christian contemplative tradition offers a lifelong practice with the potential to transform our way of being in the world. In our new monastic community, we engage with an adapted version of the 12 Steps that is suitable for anyone who is addicted to their own way of thinking (in other words, everyone!) Our 12 Step contemplative practice is a means of ongoing conversion of life and community accountability.
This spring, we are delighted to offer this practice to the public. Join us for individual practices and step work combined with community connection that will take place over the course of five months.
Self-guided

Explore the foundational prayer method of our community that welcomes our whole being into relationship with God. Each session, we will focus on a different aspect of this method of prayer.
