About Us

The Christian Meditation Center is dedicated to the teaching and practice of Christian meditation. The root tradition of the teaching is Christian, as taught by the Benedictine monk John Main OSB (1926-1982), who opened the riches of the monastic tradition of prayer for Christians whose daily lives are transformed by the practice of contemplative prayer.

The best way to learn  meditation is to meditate with others. Meditation is practiced as common human wisdom and a path for the common good of humanity. Members of all faiths as well as seekers on the journey are welcomed to share in the silence and peace with those who meditate.

We are an all-volunteer, nonprofit organization, supported solely by donations.

Our bookstore offers books, CDs and DVDs on the teachings and history of Christian Meditation as taught by John Main OSB and other contemplative teachers.

There are many forms of prayer. Christian Meditation is a form of silent prayer of the heart. It is the prayer of the listening heart.

Donations

The center is an all-volunteer, not for profit community. We depend on your financial support to share the gift of this simple way of prayer to all who come, welcoming those of all faiths or none. All donations are tax deductible. It is with much gratitude that our expenses have always been met due to your generous contributions these past 11 years – and most importantly your presence in prayer.
