Book Discussion
Join us on October 28 in person and online to continue talking and sharing about Fr. Thomas Keating’s book Intimacy with God. This book takes a deeper look at how Centering Prayer brings us into deeper relationship with the Indwelling Divine spirit.
Book discussion nominations for 2024 are now open. The focus should be to deepen and broaden our collective view of how a silent meditation practice can further develop our spiritual life. The Service Team invites your book nominations for consideration. Email your nominations to any Service Team Member.
Contemplative Nature Walks
A contemplative walk in nature can foster our sense of connectedness to the natural world. It can create space for gratitude and honoring the creator of the world in which we live. Join COI in a contemplative nature walk on Saturday, September 23, the date for the fall equinox, at Broad Ripple Park. For more information on taking a contemplative walk in nature, see our flyer.
