CENTER is a point of emergence that holds the potential to birth awakening—at once a seed, a storm’s eye, a compass, a nucleus, a solar system, and a plexus.
It is the still point around which all motion turns — the gravitational source we move away from, only to find ourselves returning to again.
In the language of contemplative practice, finding Center is the development of spiritual awareness as we seek union with the divine. As Christian mystic Cynthia Bourgeault teaches, the center of being is not the mind but the heart — not sentiment, but the subtle organ of spiritual perception that sees with wholeness through surrender.
When we return to the Center, we work with our shadow to heal and find a path into “the realm of conscious love,” where the heart becomes a compass through chaos — a point that births creative order and a deeper communion with divine unconditional love.
To find Center is to find the love of the creator within the whirlwind, saying, “Peace, be still.” It is to discover that even in disintegration there is a pulse of resurrection, that every fragmentation calls us back toward union.
CENTER is a SITE.
A locus of embodiment — that becomes a shared ground for awakening and creation, that becomes collective practice.
CENTER is SIGHT.
To see from Center is to see with the heart —a seeing transfigured by mercy, where the eye sees with truth and the body is filled with light. This is the awakening of the sacred center, the path through chaos illuminated by grace.
