Contemplative Liturgies

There are many ways to be present to the Presence. Perhaps one of these liturgies will inspire you and you will allow yourself to be bravely transformed.

While we will not be offering Holy Week liturgies this year, we invite you to revisit and reflect with the liturgies from last year. May they continue to nourish your spirit during this sacred time.

Drawing on the tradition of the mystics, Stillpoint’s Contemplative Liturgies “arise out of a ground of silence” and are intended to be in counterpoint with that silence, not to displace it. The liturgies include chants, readings, and silent meditation.
