Upcoming Eremos Programs
We invite you to step back from the busyness of life. Spaciousness, clarity, connection, and peace are just a few of the gifts that await you in our contemplative community without walls.
Poetry of the Present with Cathey Capers
Join facilitator Cathey Capers for one or all of these quarterly 2-hour sessions. She will be attuned for what is alive in our community and poems that offer insight or an invitation into Presence. Time together will include: silence, reading poetry, personal reflection, and invitations to write and share. Poetry in community gives us the opportunity to reconnect with our authentic selves, to be witnessed by others, and to bear witness for others.

Beyond the Basics of Mindfulness Meditation with Alice Lottes PhD
Using the model of the “Spectrum of Awareness” developed by Diana Winston, PhD., we will go beyond the basics to explore and practice four types of awareness and how they manifest in meditation.
