Creative meditation at Heartlinks. Consider using a meditation with your prayer group! You can read about one group's joyful experience with a Heartlinks contemplative activity here. The latest Heartlinks post is Write a Letter to God, but if that doesn't appeal today why not try an exercise like Meditation with Light or Drawing as Spiritual Discernment? The Heartlinks homepage regularly features fifteen different creative meditation exercises.

New Listening Hearts publications now available! We are very pleased to announce the concurrent publication of Keeping in Tune with God: Listening Hearts Discernment for Clergy by Suzanne Farnham and the Rev. Timothy Grayson and a special 20th anniversary edition of Listening Hearts: Discerning Call in Community, featuring a new foreword by Parker Palmer.
