There is prayer, and then there is prayer. When you pray, do you ever get the sense that you're not really praying? That nothing much is happening? Through the teachings of John Climacus, a 7th century spiritual teacher, and through personal story, Thomas speaks to the importance of attention in our prayer life. Ultimately, our quality of attention and quality of prayer turn out to be one and the same offering.
Upcoming, in-person offerings with Thomas:
7-day meditation retreat (September 30th - October 7th)
9-month deep dive in the contemplative life (still accepting applications)
