Contemplation and Transformation from Christianity’s Mystical Tradition

Audio Sample:

Let one of Christianity’s greatest modern contemplative teachers guide you on a powerful journey.

In the darkest hour of the darkest age, Christian monks developed a meditation tradition unique in the Western world. A 14th-century author described their profound mystical experience as entering the “cloud of unknowing”—a direct path to union with God. Yet in the 500 years that followed, this precious tradition was virtually lost.

For decades, Father Thomas Keating examined this great question: Could anyone enter the cloud of unknowing through a prayer practice specifically created to attain it? Fr. Keating reached back in time for clues about the prayer forms of the Christian mystics. He synthesized his work into a Centering Prayer method that has helped thousands of seekers travel the contemplative path to divine union.

The practice of Centering Prayer draws from a contemplative method that has brought profound inner transformation into the lives of thousands of practitioners. Under Fr. Keating’s guidance, you will explore what the medieval saints knew about resting in God, the sacred word that revitalizes your prayers, how to heal the forces that can hinder your spiritual growth, and much more.

The Contemplative Journey is Father Thomas Keating’s great masterwork: a complete curriculum devoted to a Christian path for achieving the still point of resting in God. Embark on the path towards God today.
