Centered: Orientation to The Spiritual Journey

Searching for ways to live a more centered life but struggle to find the time? Frustrated with feeling disintegrated and out of sync? Curious what contemplative Christianity is and how it could help you receive and embody God’s grace and love? 

It’s easy to feel disoriented on the spiritual journey, especially when you do not have a reliable map. Yet embedded in the Hebrew and Christian scriptures is an ancient map that you can use to help you live more centered and present to God. Once discovered, this map can help you to begin living more coherently and compassionately, in ways that help you to receive and embody God’s grace, and form a deepening connection with God that makes a difference in who you are with God, self, others, and the world. Like college students who are going to university for the first time, it can be very helpful to have a brief orientation to the “school of transformation” that is the contemplative journey. Even if you have been on this journey for some time, this biblical map can help you understand the contemplative journey in a powerful new way.
