At Heart of Life, we seek to be deeply attuned to the mysterious Presence at the heart of all creation. We live this out through values that shape our contemplative way of being:
Embracing the sacred stillness within each graced encounter
Honouring the divine-human connection reflected in the harmony of the universe
Nurturing the heart’s contemplative wisdom through life’s everyday experiences
