MJS – The Soul’s Divine Awakening
This day invites us to deepen our understanding of the Western apophatic tradition and explore how its wisdom can be lived in our modern world. Together, we will consider how these ancient teachings can illuminate the contemplative journey today — helping us navigate the questions, struggles and transformations that can arise as mystical consciousness deepens.
Silent Saturday – 10/10/2026
Contemplative Outreach St. Louis invites you to a quiet morning of prayer and fellowship, resting in the Divine Presence. Silent Saturdays offer a gentle tase of going deeper into the silence-God’s first language.
