Reconciled Heart
Rooted in the Taizé tradition, we are a Christ-centered community finding our rhythm in the life and teachings of Jesus.
As an ecumenical sanctuary, we believe the path to God is wide. We welcome seekers of all backgrounds into a "kaleidoscopic" fellowship—where the diversity of our stories creates a more beautiful whole. Here, the Gospels come alive through a common life of reconciliation and lifelong friendship.
This unity is found most deeply in our sung prayer.
Through simple, meditative chants and layered harmonies, we still the mind and open the heart. By lifting a "common voice," we pray as one, creating a sacred space for the Spirit to move within the silence and the song.
A glimpse into the fire of song and silence that began in a village in France and continues here in the woods of Virginia.
Our Home in the Woods
In June 2021, we brought this life of prayer to 250 acres of wooded sanctuary in Louisa, VA. This land is the body of our hospitality—a place where we nourish the spirit through the deep silence of nature. We are faithful stewards of these woods, planting seeds of peace that will shade generations to come.
