Community Prayer Opportunities
In conjunction with Westhope Presbyterian Church we offer a variety of ways and space to interact with the Holy.
Labyrinth and Sacred Spiral
Our labyrinth and sacred spiral are open to the public to use from sunrise to sunset. Many use them before or after a spiritual direction session. Should you be interested in a private or group walk with a facilitator please contact a director for further information. Read, "How do I use the labyrinth and sacred spiral?" on our blog page!

Contemplative Prayer
We offer Contemplative prayer Monday – Thursday from 9am to 9:30am PST. We gather online for centering prayer. Typically we sing a contemplative song (you don’t have to sing if you don’t want to), share a communion with God in silence for about 20 minutes and then speak prayers for the larger communities to which we belong. It is a simple and powerful way to begin the day and a wonderful grounding for whatever awaits us later in the day.

Taize
We offer Taize service quarterly on the second Tuesday of the month at 7pm PST. On a small hill in the Burgundy region of France sits a vibrant community of prayer. It has become holy space for many seeking God in a deeper way. The monastery of Taize is a welcoming community that invites people from around the world to come and pray and be in community. At the heart of their style of prayer are simply sung prayers that are meant to be sung over and over again. It is a beautiful time of deepening in our own sense of God with us, as well as, in community. Join us here.
