About Us​

​

The Oratory is a program in world spirituality that aims to both educate and transform. It is also a new monastic community and a team ministry. ​​

The Oratory programs include

• spiritual direction and companionship,

• small, online groups on spiritual traditions,

• book groups reading and discussing novels and biographies, 

• the "Explore Series" on topics such as spiritual practices, methodology, and the current crisis, and 

• occasional in-person retreats
   

As a spiritual community, Oratory members present Halcyon's programs. We are a lay community leading lives in the world and offering a diversity of spiritual programs to those interested. Oratory members have decided to more intentionally pursue their spiritual life in distributed community as well as contribute their time and talent in some form of leadership in Oratory programs, online or in-person. ​​​

​

Help support our offerings by becoming a Friend of the Oratory.  Friends help sustain our world spirituality programs and may join any of the online spirituality programs for free.
