Serene light shining in the ground of my being,
draw me to yourself.
Draw me past the snares of the senses,
out of the mazes of the mind,
Free me from symbols, from words
that I may discover the signified:
the word unspoken in the darkness
that veils the ground of my being.
– Byzantine Hymn

At Secret Garden Practices, we find kinship online in well-known spiritual practices like Centering and Welcoming Prayer, as well as other forms, like Dreamwork, Contemplative Creativity and Mindful Poetry. Our practices are interspiritual and open to all, regardless of religious or spiritual background/affiliation.
Contemplative Practices assist in moving us “past the snares of the senses, out of the mazes of the mind.”
Spiritual Companionship/Direction, conversation between two people about how Spirit is at work within one’s life, is especially helpful when engagement in a contemplative practice brings about a new level of awareness.
All are welcome.
Join our online contemplative group practices or schedule one-on-one spiritual companionship/direction or dreamwork with Sylvia, online or in-person on beautiful Bainbridge Island in Washington State.
