Intro to Spiritual Contemplation

Contemplation is deep, thoughtful reflection or meditation, often focused on spiritual matters. It involves slowing down, being still, and intentionally focusing on God, truth, or a particular idea. In Christian spirituality, contemplation is a form of prayer where a person quietly rests in God's presence, listening rather than speaking, and seeking a deeper awareness of God.

Unlike regular thinking or studying, contemplation is more about experiencing rather than analyzing. In this workshop you’ll be introduced to this thousand year old tradition as well as given an opportunity to practice it. The workshop will be led by Steve Girard who holds a Master of Arts Degree in Christian Education and Pastor Bryan Rezen who holds a Master of Arts degree in Spiritual Formation.
