What is Contemplation?

Contemplation is the practice of thoughtful observation of life and the world, a process of intentional reflective practice that entails the opening of mind and heart to the present moment and to the divine – the ‘noticing’ of things – so that, by attention to thought and feeling, one may be granted a deeper awareness. It has been said that contemplation is the root of awareness and creativity.

There are many reflective practices that come together under the umbrella of contemplation. LifeStreams offers opportunity to explore several of these practices in the Christian context, including Centering Prayer, Labyrinth Walks, and Lectio Divina.

Our weekly Evening Gathering draws on these practices to form a time of prayer and reflection, starting at 7pm on most Sundays.
