Exploring the Incarnation Method of Prayer

Online

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.

Exploring New Monasticism

Online

Self-guided

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.
