We seek to provide contemplative opportunities for people of all faith traditions and all walks of life to step back from the hectic pace of life and reconnect to their Source.
We help people from all walks of life step back from daily distractions to reconnect with God or the Divine (however they define Source) through a wide variety of programs, spiritual direction, and reflections. We invite you to explore this website thoroughly to get a sense of who we are and all we have to offer.
If you’re not sure if a program is right for you, please call us at 512-276-2649 or fill out this contact form on the website. Someone will get back to you promptly to help you discern the ideal entry point into Eremos.
We invite you to a quiet, reflective morning to contemplate and rest in the gift of joy and other treasures the Advent season can bring us, if only we take time to ponder them.
Immerse Yourself in the Poetry of Each Season, Pen the Words Your Soul Longs to Share, and Enter into Each Season More Attentive to Its Gifts. No prior experience reading or writing poetry is necessary. Sharing your thoughts and writing is always by invitation.
We invite you to step away from holiday stresses and any concerns for the future to connect with the ancient tradition of honoring nature’s rhythms on the longest night of the year in the northern hemisphere—the Winter Solstice.

“Finding the Eremos community was finding part of who I am to be in the world. From reading the newsletter, to participating in programs, retreats, ongoing groups, and even as a board member, Eremos is the challenge that keeps me awake and supports me as I work to live as a spiritual being in this physical body and world.”
– Founding Friend of Eremos
To be contemplative is to enter a quiet in which every aspect of our humanness becomes still in response to the stillness within God, the Divine, or however you define the Source of all that is.
In the spaciousness created within the Eremos community, you are gently invited to behold the Mystery of God. As you rest in moments of silence in community, burdens are lightened, clarity comes, and compassion for yourself and others is reawakened.
Whether you choose to accept our invitation via spiritual direction, a workshop, retreat or monthly on-going small group, you are welcome here.
Experience the benefits of connecting to and exploring your relationship with the Divine in the company of a small group of fellow travelers on the contemplative path. You’re welcome to join one or more of the following groups.
This on-going Eremos offering provides an opportunity to explore the rich tradition of Benedictine spirituality as a way to enrich the spiritual depth and meaning of our lives and as a guide to everyday living.
Experience the simple, profound gifts that the spaciousness in this ‘time out’ can give you. Whether it’s to be present to God’s love and call, to hear your inner wisdom, or to rest your weary spirit in quiet company, come and be awhile.
Our men’s 90-minute gatherings offer an atmosphere of confidentiality, trust and acceptance where men can find a sense of mutual accountability in a regular time dedicated to community and contemplative practice.
With busy people like you in mind, this weekly Quiet Pause includes a brief guided meditation or poem and image for reflection, then 20 minutes of silence in community, and closes with an inspiring message to take with you as you re-enter your day.
We invite you to be part of the legacy for the future of this spiritual oasis that is Eremos and welcome your financial support.

“How I wish I could attend all of the programs! Each one has touched my soul and speaks to me where I am at that moment. I always feel better when I leave.” –Eremos Program Attendee
From focusing on being a good host and getting food on the table to distracting yourself from lonely moments on your own this Thanksgiving, there are many opportunities for each of us to forget to pause to acknowledge all we’re grateful for.
Early this morning I discerned what the general theme of today’s newsletter would be based upon the Mark Nepo’s quote above, then headed out the door to walk.
Happy Halloween! Perhaps because we’ve been immersed in the exploration of joy this year, I find myself laughing with delight more this Halloween season.
