...is a placeless place offering resources, retreats, and guidance for people who live busy and responsible lives. Our path is rooted in the life and wisdom of Jesus, the Christ, yet we honor and are richly influenced by other religious traditions.
Our institute is still unfolding as we offer simple opportunities to become more centered in a world that scatters our attention and lives. Our purpose is to offer resources, opportunities for spiritual growth, guidance, and to listen, not to coerce or control.
We are called to be:
We have no centralized facility; our programs and ministries take place in a variety of venues.
Prayer is the movement of Love
from the infinite to the finite
and the offering of the finite,
in gratitude,
to God, its source.
The contemplative
way happens by
being present in love:
being appreciatively
and responsively
present right here and now.
Gerald M. May
