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.
