Welcome, Welcome, Welcome!
You are invited into a sacred space of stillness, prayer, and community. Rooted in the Christian contemplative tradition and open to inter-spiritual wisdom—especially from Buddhism and the sciences—our online chapels offer a daily rhythm of meditation, reflection, and spiritual companionship.
Whether you are new to contemplative prayer or a long-time practitioner, you are welcome here.
What happens when trying harder is no longer the answer?
Most of us have places in our lives where familiar strategies no longer seem to work. We try to control what cannot be controlled. We repeat patterns we meant to leave behind. We long to live with greater freedom, trust, and love—and discover that willpower alone can take us only so far.
Beginning September 21st, Letting Go and Being Held is an eight-week at-home spiritual journey bringing the wisdom of the Twelve Steps into conversation with the Christian contemplative tradition. Participants will receive a daily email for eight weeks: a Sunday introduction to the spiritual movement of the week ahead, followed by six reflections for prayer and contemplation.
Grounded in Prayer, Gathered in Presence
At Still Point, our life together flows from shared spiritual practices that open us to the presence of God and one another. Explore the rhythm of our weekly chapel gatherings, meet the hosts who lead them, and discover the contemplative practices that shape our life as a community.
