[inwave_heading sub2_title=”Eremos” title=”{Celebrating 25 Years of Contemplative Living – 25 Years of Helping People Experience More Peace, Compassion, Clarity, Love, and a Deeper Connection with the Divine.}” sub_title=”On May 8th, 2021, Eremos officially turned 25 years old. We could not have made it this far in the life of our nonprofit without the support of our donors. Truly.” align=”center” font_size_sub_title=”22px” line_height_sub_title=”1.25″]
Because Eremos is not affiliated with any religious community or one method of contemplative prayer or meditation, grants from foundations and spiritual communities are difficult to come by. Despite this challenge, our gentle invitation to step back from daily distractions to rest in the silence in communion with God or the Divine continues to resonate with many.
With your financial support, we look forward to many more years of awakening and encouraging the gift of contemplation in the lives of people of all walks of life from around the country.
Thank you in advance for your anniversary gift (suggested donation of $25, $125, $250 or more*)
