CONTEMPLATIVE NOTES

Gratitude and Generosity

Every morning is a call to rise with intention, a reminder that waking up is a gift not to be taken lightly...

Gratitude in All Circumstances

This kind of gratitude is an ever-present companion, a choice to hold onto even the smallest threads....


Being part of a contemplative community doesn't require living in a monastery. Instead, it's about intentionally embracing a shared rhythm of life, wherever you are. This modern approach allows us to integrate contemplative practices into our daily routines, fostering spiritual growth and connection while remaining engaged in the world. It offers a way to experience the richness of monastic traditions without withdrawing from society. By adopting this rhythm, we create a "monastery without walls," nurturing our inner lives through contemplation while actively participating in our communities and relationships. To explore this concept further and discover how you can incorporate these practices into your life, we invite you to read Contemplative Interbeing's Rhythm of Life.

We don’t know what life will bring, so it is what we bring to life that matters.
