In a time marked by noise, speed, and constant reaction, many people are discovering a deeper hunger—for silence, grounding, and meaning. This year, Contemplative Underground is offering a foundational learning that reflects on why contemplative practice matters now, and how it forms the Church for the sake of the world. Rather than beginning with programs or urgency, this reflection invites us to begin with formation.







I’m often asked to explain contemplative prayer. Or I’m asked, “What does it mean to be a contemplative?”

Welcome to the Contemplative Underground. We're so glad you've decided to visit our online community.

Centering Prayer is a practice that helps us to live a Contemplative Life, to “listen with the ear of our heart.”
