About this organization
Mission
Exists to nurture the integral connection between mysticism and activism. Gravity grounds social engagement in Christian contemplative spirituality, to do good better by facilitating contemplative retreats, spiritual direction and pilgrimage to places of religious significance as well as places marked by profound pain and hope. Our aim is to support the development of Christian consciousness in the 21st century by making contemplative practices accessible to individuals, communities and organizations that engage the challenging social justice perils of our time.
About
Contemplative Retreats are for people who long to nurture their relationship with God by cultivating mindfulness and rest in a world that is grossly out of balance with mindless, frantic action. Grounding retreats are for people who are new to contemplative spirituality. Deepening retreats are for people who are acquainted with the history and methodology of contemplative spirituality, have a daily prayer sit practice (like centering prayer) and who desire to deepen their practice. Enlightening retreats are for people who are committed to contemplative activism and long for more teaching to nourish their soul. Pilgrimages are offered for sojourners who desire greater personal and global transformation. Resources are available to nurture the inner spirit and outer expression of service in the world. Spiritual Direction programs are for seekers looking for companionship and guidance in the journey of their soul.
