Howard Thurman: Stillness, Contemplation, & Social Transformation

What does it mean to cultivate a contemplative life that leads to compassion, courage, and justice?

Join us for our next Contemplative Conversation Circles as we spend 8 weeks reading Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman, beginning the week of September 14.

Thurman's groundbreaking work inspired Martin Luther King Jr. and continues to invite readers into a faith rooted in love, inner freedom, and hope for a more just world. Together, we'll explore how contemplation can transform both our inner lives and the way we engage with the world around us.

We'll meet for one hour each week on Zoom in small groups where we create a welcoming space for conversation, reflection, and spiritual practice. Whether you're new to Howard Thurman or returning to his work, you're invited to journey with us.

Meeting Times (Central):
• Wednesdays at 11:00am
• Wednesdays at 1:30pm
• Thursdays at 11:00am
• Saturdays at 9:00am

As we prepare for Year 10 of Contemplate Lincoln, we've been embracing a season of rest and trusting that, like fertile soil, rest creates space for new life to emerge.

In the weeks and months ahead, we're launching a new Morning Prayer Group with our friends at Contemplative Interbeing, beginning a new season of Contemplative Conversation Circles featuring Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman, preparing for our first annual retreat, and making improvements to our website and digital community.

We're grateful for this season of renewal and excited to see what continues to emerge as we enter a new chapter together.

If you're looking for a contemplative community rooted in spiritual practice, meaningful conversation, and belonging, we invite you to join us. The best way to stay informed about upcoming gatherings, events, and new opportunities is to subscribe to our newsletter. We'd love to have you journey with us.
