Everyday Contemplation came into being as a small group of friends met to practice spiritual contemplation and reflection together and shared what they were hearing from people in their own faith communities. Namely a growing desire for restorative contemplative spaces to practice the presence of God; spaces beyond the formal worship and prayer events and quiet time practices we are used to in our churches.
Everyday Contemplation offers various contemplative practices and experiences as a way of practicing the presence of God in the everyday. Accepting that most of us have more than enough access to content and knowledge we offer opportunities to pay attention to our three-in-one God, seeing the sacred and holy in our everyday lives. As generations of Christians before us have experienced, spending ordinary time attentive to God and our own thoughts and feelings liberates us to join God in what he is doing in the world so that our everyday is also the sacred way.
Everyday Contemplation offers Retreats (day and overnight suitable for small groups, leaders, congregants); short contemplative experiences (two to four hours suitable for workplaces or congregations); contemplative experience series (over 2- 4 weeks) and can tailor events to your particular circumstances.
