Closer Than Breath
History
Founder of Closer Than Breath
Keith's mission is to help people reimagine what’s divine and see God everywhere.
Keith is a writer, meditation teacher and commissioned teacher of Centering Prayer through Contemplative Outreach, trained with the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation in leading contemplative prayer groups and retreats, and is a certified Enneagram teacher.
A brief history of Closer Than Breath: Keith started Closer Than Breath during the early days of the Pandemic, summer of 2020. After creating the 6-week Centering Prayer course, it became clear that people wanted to journey together in contemplative community. The Membership was formed as a way for people to continue the contemplative journey together.
Testimonials
"Being a part of the Closer Than Breath Community with Keith has opened a new world of blissful solitude for me. I have practiced meditation for many years, but never felt accomplished when I was finished. Centering Prayer has given me that peaceful feeling during and after my CP time. The community is always supportive, nonjudgmental, and attentive to the experiences I share with them. I feel safe, comfortable and totally with God, the Divine as all with one. So freeing."
Charlotte Nisbet
I am a member of CTB because I wanted continuity in contemplative practices after the courses. As transformation can only happen with ongoing practice, it is only the best thing to belong to a like-minded group of people.
This is a great global community to commit to, to grow my love for God, for people and the world genuinely.“
Sow Lan Lai
How lovely! Thank you for creating such a beautiful, wise, caring presence allowing strangers to come together in trust and companionship and true communion.
You have that Light and the gift of being able to spread it.
Louisa Merdzan
Thank you for your dedication and commitment to Centering Prayer. Having the opportunity to pray and participate in discussion is priceless. Thank you for the beautiful Christmas Blessing. May the Breath of Heaven continually be born anew in your heart and in the hearts of your wife and child as well.
Linda Swan
I’m so glad I chose to join 3 years ago! I’ve been abundantly blessed by the rich variety of programs and my spiritual growth has accelerated. The presence of God has become real and tangible to me and my heart and mind have become more open and accepting! I am eternally grateful!
