The Center for Spiritual Imagination will offer an online presentation and conversation about their New Monastic community, the Community of the Incarnation, on Wednesday, May 25 at 7pm. The co-founders of the Center along with members of the Community will share the different ways one can engage with New Monastic practice, whether you are exploring a Rule of Life for the first time or are interested in a deeper commitment to a life of contemplation and just living.
The evening will also offer a comprehensive look at the Center’s 3-year formation program which combines experiential classes in contemplative spirituality and theology, small group work based on the tools of 12-step spirituality, Clinical Pastoral Education methodology, retreat work, one-on-one mentoring, and a commitment to the community’s rule of life. This formation program helps prepare participants for a committed vowed new monastic life of prayer and service. Details on this formation program and how one can apply will be offered.

Monasticism has always been a response to the deep human longing for God. From the desert fathers and mothers of Egypt and Palestine to the monasteries of Europe, it has shaped lives of prayer, simplicity, and service for centuries. But this course isn’t about the monasticism of the past—it’s about new expressions of monasticism emerging today, rooted in the same longing but responding to the unique challenges and possibilities of our time.
