Listening in Stillness, Serving in Joy!

 

THE SCHOOL FOR CONTEMPLATIVE LIVING  

 

Our Mission 

"Rebuilding Soul and Spirit in New Orleans by Listening in Stillness, Serving in Joy!" 

 


Listening in Stillness

Cultivating a contemplative presence for God involves daily practice of spiritual disciplines in solitude.  

This, for us, is the inward journey. Because the journey cannot be completed alone, we practice with a

community of supportive friends. Together we seek to live a consecrated life:

 practicing oneness with God in solitude and in community. 

 


                        Serving in Joy!                            

              

Presence for God brings us into God's heart for the world.  

The result is action--a response of serving. This for us is the outward journey.

We serve through our chosen vocations and through shared missions.
