Events & Courses

Join us this Fall for our Introductory program, which we call Candidacy. Candidacy is the first step towards joining our new monastic community, but it's also a great way to introduce yourself to our methods of prayer and teaching in engaged mysticism.

Over the course of four months, you will:

• Engage in a study of the life and work of Howard Thurman, and the connection between contemplation and justice

• Write your own spiritual autobiography

• Meet monthly with fellow contemplatives for practice and conversation

• Experiment with our methods of contemplative prayer, lectio divina, and more

• Learn about our new monastic community

Join us and see if this is a good fit for you and the starting point of joining a really beautiful community of practice!
