About
The Contemplative Society is an inclusive non-profit association that encourages a deepening of contemplative prayer based in the Christian Wisdom tradition while also welcoming and being supportive of other meditation traditions.
We offer a consistent and balanced path for spiritual growth and transformation rooted in prayer, silence, mindful work, and in the 1500-year-old wisdom of our Benedictine contemplative heritage.
The Contemplative Society actively nurtures local and global teachers of the contemplative way and maintains a consistent staff to communicate with members and to provide a regular and balanced schedule of retreat, teaching, and workshop opportunities.
Our Impact
The society draws upon and promotes the work of Rev. Dr. Cynthia Bourgeault as one of the primary Wisdom teachers for The Contemplative Society. We do so by sponsoring retreats, wisdom schools, and workshops led by Cynthia and other distinguished teachers of the Christian contemplative path, and through the sales of instructional and inspiration materials, in text, audio, and e-course format, supportive of the contemplative life.
