Presence through Body, Breath & Mind

No one is so advanced in prayer

that they do not often

have to return to the beginning.

–St. Teresa of Avila

Wherever you are in your prayer life– whether you feel like a beginner or want to deepen a particular practice– whether you want to explore new ways of praying or are seeking the support of like-spirited others in an online setting, the School of Contemplative Prayer online series offers something for you.  

The online sessions are experiential and will include:

• enrichment and support for your daily practice through weekly course material, contemplative quotes and images, and midweek e-mail check-ins
• encouragement for opening to God through a particular way of praying, offered through weekly, brief video teachings led by Carole Crumley and guided meditations and reflections from Shalem’s archives of the classic and timeless voices of Tilden Edwards, Marlene Maier and Gerald May.
• opportunities for conference call, journaling and shared reflection with other participants through a simple, secure, members-only web space
