Objective:

To share thoughts, reflections, practices and experiences that engage mindful living and contemplative worship in a faith-promoting environment, helping to increase our peace and strengthen the bonds of community.

It is our belief and hope that our writers and readers will:

  • Deepen their relationship with the Savior and their fellow brothers and sisters
  • Develop their own voices to advocate for greater peace, patience, love and compassion in their faith and lives
  • Form bonds of support and friendship between one another that may lead to other joint projects or activities
  • Contribute to a new and growing body of knowledge and practices associated with mindful living and contemplative worship

Audience:

Latter-day Saints and others who desire to enrich their daily lives and enhance their experiences as disciples of Christ.
