A place to deepen your spiritual life.
Contemplate Lincoln is a hub for Christian contemplative prayer, practice, and community — in Lincoln, Nebraska and online around the world.
Who We Are
Our mission is to provide a safe, participatory, and holy space to foster spiritual growth deepening our love for God, ourselves, neighbors, and all of creation. We are a hub for Christian contemplative prayer, spiritual practice, and living. In communion with others we participate in the Christ mystery through contemplative practice, learning, growing, and doing life together. Through this sacramental tapestry, we and our world are transformed.
As a community, we live this out through a commitment to a daily spiritual practice, compassionate action, cultivating mature self knowledge, creation care, and growing in God’s wisdom and grace. There are a variety of spiritual disciplines one may commit to live out a rule of life.

Stay Connected
Twice a month we send The Contemplative Connection — upcoming gatherings, reflections, and news from our community.
Companionship for the Journey
Spiritual Companionship is a way to increase your attentiveness to life, to relationships, and to God’s movement in the everyday. A spiritual director works with you to pay attention to God and discern where God is calling and working in your life — one Christian helping another better listen to the Holy Spirit through discernment, dialogue, and prayer.
Sessions are donation-based (typically $50–$150 per session).
Support Christian Contemplative Community and the Work of Inner Transformation
98% of our resources come from the generosity of people like you. Your gift — one-time or monthly — sustains contemplative community, keeps our gatherings free and open, and supports the work of inner transformation.
