christos community
A contemplative journey through the Christian tradition, open to all who feel drawn.
The Christos Community is a weekly gathering for prayer, teaching, silence, and shared inquiry. It is rooted in the Christian contemplative tradition and offered in a spirit of openness, depth, and human honesty. This is not a gathering that requires prior belief, nor a space for debate. It is a place to listen, reflect, and sit with the great figures and questions of the Christian path as they unfold through Scripture, history, and lived experience.
Each gathering holds together prayer, teaching, and silence, allowing understanding to grow at its own pace.
The first season unfolds from January to April 2026 and focuses primarily on figures from the New Testament, laying a strong foundation for future seasons.

No prior knowledge is required. No statement of belief is expected.
The Journey — Season One (18.01-12.04.2026)
Each gathering of the Christos Community unfolds as a shared liturgy, prayerful, contemplative, and rooted in the Christian tradition.
We gather through music, shared prayer, moments of silence, meditation, intercessory prayer, and simple singing. Within this liturgical flow, teaching is offered as part of the prayer itself, opening Scripture, story, and tradition as living realities.
Each season moves through a series of Mysteries, not as concepts to master, but as sacred realities to dwell with. Together, we listen, reflect, pray, and allow understanding to ripen in its own time.
A contemplative journey through the Christian tradition, open to all who feel drawn.
