Contemplative Outreach is a spiritual organization that promotes the practice of Centering Prayer, a method of silent prayer that fosters a deeper relationship with God. Founded in the 1980s by Father Thomas Keating, it aims to help individuals cultivate inner silence and awareness through contemplative practices. The organization offers workshops, retreats, and resources to support individuals in their spiritual journeys. It emphasizes the importance of community and shared experiences in deepening one's understanding of Christian mysticism and the transformative power of prayer.
