Contemplative Pathways

Contemplative Pathways (formerly known as the Atlantic Jubilee Program in Spiritual Deepening and Spiritual Guidance) is an initiative within the Atlantic region of Canada, grounded in the Christian contemplative tradition and yet, open to contemplative spiritual practices coming from many world traditions.

This partnership has offered retreats and gatherings to deepen personal spiritual practices and contemplative leadership. Underlying is a deep believe in the practice of spiritual guidance as a pathway that holds great promise for authentic human emergence in the world. Silent and other guided retreats have been an integral part of these practices.

Quaker-inspired programs “Courage to Lead” through the Centre for Courage and Renewal, support and reinforce the contemplative pathways work. These programs support grounded, authentic leadership and builds skills in listening, asking open, honest questions and growing circles of trust.

This partnership has sought leadership that is open to the spirt and contemplative ways, for the ongoing transformation of the world. We are currently in the process of exploring ways that this work can more intentionally expand to multi-faith retreats that will allow those of different spiritual and faith backgrounds to gather in their own faith communities as well as share across others.
