Contemplative Living Immersion Experience

“God is nearer to us than our own soul, for God is the ground in which our soul stands.” *

The Contemplative Living Immersion Experience is a year-long invitation to deepen into the stillness and spaciousness of God’s presence. Through silence, prayer, and sacred attentiveness, participants are gently guided into a more grounded experience of life in the Spirit. This journey unfolds across a series of retreats that weave together wisdom from the Christian contemplative tradition and the lived grace of daily practice.

Each season opens a doorway into greater awareness: awakening to the heart’s deeper knowing, learning to rest beyond the ego’s patterns, and discovering the healing beauty of presence. Through the companionship of trusted teachers, participants are invited to explore practices that nurture the contemplative life from the inside out.

The ongoing rhythm of Heart-Centered Meditation supports this immersion, offering time and space to anchor insights in quiet prayer. Whether encountering the mystics, walking silently in nature, or writing from the heart, participants awaken to the sacred that breathes within and around all things.

The Contemplative Living Immersion Experience is not simply a program—it is a pilgrimage into stillness, a year of returning to the heart, and a way of embodying contemplative awareness in every moment of life.
