The Contemplative Life

These reflections are where I wrestle with silence, liminal spaces, and the surprising ways God meets us in the in-between. They’re written for the spiritually curious , those longing for depth and presence in the middle of ordinary life.

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.

Contemplative life isn’t just theory — it’s embodied. This section offers guides to practices like lectio divina, centering prayer, and silence, as well as recommended books, tools, and communities to support your journey.

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.
