EREMOS, A CENTER OF CONTEMPLATIVE LIFE
Welcome to our contemplative community without walls
We invite you to explore this website thoroughly to get a sense of who we are and what we have to offer.
If you feel contemplation is outside the realm of your experience, you might want to read our Frequently Asked Questions About Contemplation.
Depending upon your needs, you might desire to first experience a one-on-one spiritual direction session, a morning or afternoon mini-retreat, or a workshop.
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 and someone will get back to you promptly to help you discern the ideal entry point into Eremos.
In those moments when you seek solitude, silence, connection or intimacy within your life, you are living Eremos – the desert of your heart.
What does it mean to be a “Contemplative Community Without Walls”?
Our physical space is small, but our community is large and extends beyond the United States thanks to Zoom, our e-newsletters, and our growing presence on YouTube and Linkedin. We believe we co-create the contemplative spaciousness wherever we are. There is no rule, no form that you must follow, no obligations nor demands that will ‘wall you in’. And community members can connect to the Eremos experience without ever meeting in person in Austin.
“I truly don’t know where I’d be today without Eremos where I can find a few moments of silence and sanity in this hectic world.”
-Eremos Program Attendee
