Engaging Christian Contemplative Practices
Wednesdays, January 21, February 11, March 4 and 25, April 15 and 29 2026
10:00 AM - 2:30 PM
Whethere you’re new to contemplative practice or seeking to deepen your spiritual grounding, we invite you to join our co-Executive Director, the Rev. Matt Carriker and colleagues of Bethany House of Prayer for a sex-session series that explores the rich and varied branches of Christian contemplative tradition.
Inspired by the “Tree of Contemplative Practices”, each session will gently introduce a different pathway for spiritual connection and reflection–including: Stillness, Generative, Relational, Creative, Movement, Activist, and Ritual.
This series is designed to be accessible, spacious, and spiritually resonant–whether you come from a Christian background or are simply curious about contemplative ways of being. Each branch offers a unique invitation to connect with the Divine, with others, and with your own inner wisdom.
Cost is $450 for 6 sessions, lunch included.
$80 for a drop-in to one session, lunch included.
