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.
Select One Spiritual Nugget to Inspire Your Day
We are so brief. A one-day dandelion. A seedpod skittering across the ice. We are a feather falling from the wing of a bird. I don’t know why it is given to us to be so mortal and to feel so much. It is a cruel trick, and glorious.
Louise Erdrich
