 Creating Contemplative Communities by
Listening in Stillness and Serving in Joy

 Listening in Stillness

Cultivating a contemplative presence for God
involves daily practice of spiritual disciplines in solitude.
This, for us, is the inward journey. 
Because the journey cannot be completed alone,
we practice with a community of supportive friends.
Together we seek to live a consecrated life:
practicing oneness with God in Solitude and in Community.

              Serving in Joy!          

          

Presence for God brings us into God's heart for the world.  
 

The result is action--a response of serving. 

This for us is the outward journey.

We serve through our chosen vocations and through shared missions.
