In an age dominated by hurry, distraction and busyness, we long for
practices that will help us become centered, mindful, and connected to
the Spirit. Jesus modeled a practice of daily stillness, silence and
solitude that empowered his life of revolutionary love. This one night
Forum and six week Learning Lab will invite participants to discover
the connections between the teachings of Jesus and stillness meditation
and cultivate a regular daily practice. A 40 minute stillness
meditation will be incorporated into each session. Those who register
for the six-week Learning Lab option will be asked to commit to a
20-minute daily experimental practice.


* Note three different options for this series: One night Forum, six week Learning Lab and drop-in sessions.
