Contemplative living
Spiritual grounding for daily action
The practice of contemplation invites us to experience a deeper self, quieter, open to underlying connections all around us. Caring for the life of the soul grounds our outer actions with focus and awareness. Sharing contemplative practice in community provides tools for living more present to the life of the Spirit, wherever we find ourselves.
“Peace meets you at the garden gate…
At Bethany every leaf and tree, every stone and flower seems infused with the prayers of the faithful.”
