FEATURED EVENTS
In a world where division and disconnection often overshadow our shared humanity, the call to unity has never been more urgent.
The 4th Annual Online Centering Prayer Summit on January 25-26 offers a sacred space to move beyond personal peace to embrace a shared, universal connection with the Divine and all of creation.
Guided by renowned contemplative teachers, including keynote speaker Cynthia Bourgeault, we’ll explore how contemplative prayer not only deepens our relationship with God but also weaves us closer to one another, illuminating our shared journey.

The mind is a wonderful gift, teaches Michael A. Singer. But the voice inside our heads can also be a never-ending source of suffering. The solution? Surrender. But what does that mean?
As he puts it: “Surrender is the willingness to let go. To realize that your thoughts, your emotions, and even your body are not you. You are the indwelling consciousness witnessing it all.”
