ABOUT

Opening to God is founded upon the realization that many people are deeply committed to God but don't experience a deep connection to God.  We strive to help close that gap between our understanding of Jesus and our experience of him.  We value ancient spiritual practices of imaginative contemplation, spiritual direction, and imaginative prayer along with contemporary discoveries of the neuroscience of spiritual formation.
