==============================

Robert founded Contemplative Interbeing in 2015, based on the Christian contemplative tradition and the 14 contemplative trainings.

1The Perennial Tradition encompasses the recurring themes in all of the world’s religions and philosophies that continue to say:

  • There is a Divine Reality underneath and inherent in the world of things,
  • There is in the human soul a natural capacity, similarity, and longing for this Divine Reality, and
  • The final goal of existence is union with this Divine Reality.
