Contemplative Solidarity

The Wisdom Centre inspires individuals and faith leaders to be catalysts in the renewal of spiritual practice. Our vision is based, in part, on what recent research describes as the “Practicing Congregation”, mainstream parishes revitalized through worship, spirituality, and the intentional formation of a way of life.The Wisdom Centre supports the “reclaiming of our ancient traditions” in new and innovative ways.

Wisdom Centre

“Contemplative Solidarity” introduces us to a powerful practice for times of instability and fear.

St. Laurence Anglican Church

<p>This workshop takes us on a deep dive into meditation, where—in addition to our sense of the Holy Presence—we learn to experience a felt awareness of our entanglements across time, space, and realities. The goal of the workshop is a more stable and steadfast practice, a revised and reliable sense of hope, and the pervasive knowledge that we are not alone. The work we do together in the sessions will serve as a template for times when we practice by ourselves, struggling to meet our own suffering and the suffering of the greater world. </p>
