2025 Contemplative Summit

September 25–28, 2025

I am honored to share that I’ll be speaking at the  — a free online gathering bringing together over 40 wisdom teachers from across contemplative traditions.

Thousands of us from around the globe will be exploring this year’s theme:

The Spacious Heart: Holding Suffering with Love

We’ll be joined by amazing guests, like Parker Palmer, Jacqui Lewis, Fr. Greg Boyle, Kathleen Norris, and many others. Together, we’ll ask:

• How do we stay tender when the world feels hard?
• Where does the contemplative path meet the cry for justice?
• What can forgotten mystics — and even our own shadows — teach us now?
• How might we make space in our hearts for joy and grief, for awe and uncertainty?

In addition to powerful talks, you’ll be able to join live practice sessions, daily small groups, and even explore spiritual direction in a safe, supportive space.

It’s 4 days to breathe, listen deeply, and widen your heart — in community with thousands of others seeking to live awake and connected.

I hope you’ll join us. You can reserve your free spot here: https://school.spiritualwanderlust.org/a/2148152469/oEZBvFdi

3rd Sunday Worship

with Imam Jamal Rahman

at Interfaith Community Sanctury

Our main source of inspiration for this year is Interspiritual Meditation by Edward W. Bastian. In this book, he points out the necessity for our spiritual practices to be performed in a context of intention and wisdom that supports and informs them. He outlines a series of steps we can take to help integrate our practice, wisdom, and daily life. We can consider each of these steps in a personal, communal, or universal domain. Also, as particular independent practices or as elements in a ritual sequence.
