Welcome to the Guided Exploring Way, a place to begin your exploration of the Center for Spiritual Imagination’s contemplative practices and philosophy. Guided Exploration is a great way to experiment with the prayer practices we teach in order to see what speaks to your sense of spirituality and how you experience God in your life, as well as to see whether you would like to join our community.

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.
Whether you’re exploring contemplative practice, seeking deeper companionship, or discerning a vowed monastic path, our community welcomes you.
