DOMINICAN CENTER

Located at Dominican Convent, 175 Route 340, Sparkill NY, Dominican Center offers programs which foster a contemplative attitude toward all of life and encourage a common search for the Mystery Who is God. We join with all people who seek to heal the violence which deprives both humans and the natural environment of the dignity and freedom intended by our Creator.


Labyrinth
Make a spiritual journey by walking the Labyrinth,
a single path leading to a center and out again.
The Labyrinth is based on the circle, the universal symbol for wholeness and unity.
We welcome those who wish to walk this mysterious winding path
as a way of deepening their relationship with God and of gaining clarity for their lives. Because of the possibility of some pre-scheduled function,
let us know your plans for an individual or group walk ahead of time.

T'ai Chi Chih®: A Moving Meditation

This ancient Chinese art of meditation in motion promotes physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. These gentle movements improve the circulation and balancing of the internal energy, or chi. In addition to stress relief and related health benefits, the centering aspects of T'ai Chi Chih are a good preparation for prayer. Wear loose-fitting clothing.

Other Services At Dominican Center

Spiritual Direction
Spiritual Direction takes place in a one-on-one setting with
a certified spiritual director who offers support
and challenge for your faith journey.
The process encourages you to notice
and respond to God's relationship with you
and to live out the consequences of that relationship in your everyday life.
Call 845 359-4068 for choice of spiritual directors.

Gate of Wellness
Through the laying on of hands, the practitioner assists the receiver to become more open to God's presence and in turn to
experience the energy of God connecting with his or her own energy. This experience is deeply relaxing and complements the healing process. It is ordinarily received lying on a mat but may be received in a seated position. One is fully clothed except for shoes.
