Happy New Year contemplative friends!
A huge thank you to everyone who donated to our Fall Appeal. Your generous support will make it possible for The Contemplative Society to offer exciting news over the next few weeks of upcoming retreats and events, and the publication of new audio and video resources. All in support of strengthening our community’s capacity to walk the contemplative path and center our actions in divine wisdom and love, no matter what turmoil or creative opportunities may come our way.
This newsletter outlines just some of the opportunities for learning, practice and deepening the wisdom that we are called to offered in our Christian contemplative network.
May this new year yield many opportunities for you to deepen your wisdom practice. And to awaken to the gifts, joy and deep peace that arise out of embodied awareness of the Sacred Love active in our lives.
Blessings,
Henri Lock
The Contemplative Society
