Events
Advent Saturday Prayer
Father Bob Aten, original founder of COSTL returns to invite us into a space of deep stillness this Advent, where we listen for the rhythm of Christ’s heart within our own. A morning of silence, reflection, and shared contemplative presence.
Poetry, Centering Prayer, and Journaling
As we embark on this New Year, we invite you to join us for an enriching event where Dwight will share his inspiring poetry, encouraging all participants to tap into their own creative expression.
The Mandala Journey
A mandala is more than a design—it's a spiritual map, a sacred mirror, and a pathway to the divine. Whether drawn, visualized, or meditated upon, mandalas invite us to explore the infinite within and around us.
