(eh-ray-mos)
Greek word meaning solitary place, quiet place, desert place
We seek to provide contemplative opportunities for people of all faith traditions and all walks of life to step back from the hectic pace of life and reconnect to their Source.
In These Uncertain Times May We Uplift Each Other Virtually
As a contemplative community, we know the soul nourishment that occurs when we drop out of our heads into the silence of our hearts to be with God, the Divine, the Holy One, or whatever name you call Source. We invite you to pause often to take a deep breath, drop into the silence, and find the peace that passes all understanding.
Sunday, April 5th through Sunday, April 12th, we invite you to pause to join us virtually at Noon each day for five minutes of silence and prayer of May We Dwell in the Heart by Robert Gass (below).
Know that you are not alone no matter how physically isolated we are asked to be at this time. We are a community. We hold you and your loved ones in our collective hearts and prayers. And, we hold the vision and space for healing to come and for the world to emerge stronger and more united for this challenge. Thank you for joining us in this vision.
Upcoming Events
May this beautiful prayer we offer daily this week uplift you and our world. Please join us:
Sometimes, a quote, a poem or other reading, an image, or a piece of music can uplift your spirit and provide soul nourishment to ponder in your times of silence and reflection.

New to Contemplation?
In the spaciousness created within the Eremos community, you are gently invited to behold the Mystery of God. As you rest in moments of silence in community, burdens are lightened, clarity comes, and compassion for yourself and others is reawakened.
Whether you choose to accept our invitation via spiritual direction, a workshop, retreat or monthly on-going small group, you are welcome here.
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.
