Designed as a committed spiritual practice, Charis Meditation combines silent meditation and spiritual reading, bringing together ‘vertical’ and ‘horizontal’ dimensions of contemplative life. Developed initially as an interspiritual version of Centering Prayer, as taught by Fr. Thomas Keating, Charis Meditation provides a basis for deep, long-term transformation. It is also at the core of our Charis Circles, offering a communal practice that people of diverse spiritual traditions might do together.
