About The Contemplative Gaze
The Contemplative Gaze offers resources for personal and group spiritual growth using a contemplative method of viewing art as the catalyst for engagement. We lead programs for congregations and small groups seeking to deepen their understanding of themselves, other faith traditions, and the divine.
