The Contemplative Life
For many years, I have been exploring the Christian contemplative path — first through practice, writing, and then research. My doctoral work examined how contemplative rhythms can bring renewal to churches today, and my own journey has been shaped by silence, prayer, and learning from both ancient monastic wisdom and contemporary practice. Here, you’ll find reflections, resources, and invitations into the deeper way of life with God.
"The Christian of the future will be a mystic or he will not exist at all."

Toward a Contemplative Renewal
Research in Action
My doctoral research explored three Episcopal churches that cultivated a contemplative culture. What I found is both ancient and urgent: personal spiritual vitality fuels communal renewal. Here you’ll find the heart of that research, distilled into insights for leaders and seekers alike.

Opportunities to Learn
with Me
My work in contemplative spirituality has opened doors to leading and accompanying others who are curious about this deeper way of life with God. I bring both academic study and lived practice to these spaces, and I am available to share insights, guide experiences, and help others explore contemplative rhythms.
