Bridges To Contemplative Living is a unique opportunity to gather for 8-two hour sessions to explore the role of contemplation in your life. The program is based on the work of Thomas Merton, a Trappist monk, who believed that there is only one vocation, “a call to holiness.” Where ever and however you choose to live out your life, if you acknowledge contemplation is a part of it and you attend to develop it in your daily practices you will be on a path to holiness in your effort to become whole.
The small group of 15-20 will be facilitated by Joseph Chamberlin, a long time Merton student. He will convene and facilitate the group in its reflection and dialogue ensuring that the 2-hour time frame is respected. It is not necessary to have done Volume 1 to participate in this program.
