The Contemplative Society was founded to host Cynthia Bourgeault’s retreats, evolving to promote her international teachings worldwide. All items here were either TCS events or featured on our website; File 1 recovers digital records via data migration and Wayback Machine, while File 2 presents paper materials from Heather Page and Mary Clare Carder.

S03-F01: Digital Event Records compiles all recoverable digital traces of Cynthia’s TCS-hosted or promoted events, including historic website migrations and Wayback Machine captures of annual schedules (primarily 2005–2015).
S03-F02: Paper Event Records contains early paper materials from Heather Page and Mary Clare Carder, filling pre-digital gaps (1998–2005); retreats with significant archival material appear here, with possible overlap to digital records where early TCS lacked distinct “events” functions.
