Project LVX - Christ-Centered Contemplative Spiritual Direction

Christ-Centered Contemplative Spiritual Direction

We meet you where you are—with compassion, stillness, and the living tradition of Christian contemplation.

Life is a spiritual journey of the heart. Yet modern life fills the quiet spaces of the soul with constant noise—entertainment, work, and the endless chatter of success. These distractions dull our sensitivity to the deeper mystery of being human and quiet the inner voice that longs for God.

At Project LVX, we invite you to reclaim that stillness. We walk with you toward a living connection with Christ through the ancient practices of contemplative prayer and spiritual direction.

Join us on the Path

Walk your spiral labyrinth of Mind

Discover your inner Illumination

The contemplative path is not a technique to master or a feeling to chase. It is a way of living in which we slowly learn to rest in the presence of God, allowing His light to reshape the heart from within. Through spiritual direction, shared practice, and faithful attention to the inner life, we are drawn into deeper union with Christ—the true center of the soul.

This journey is both personal and communal. While no one can walk The Path for you, you do not have to walk it alone. Project LVX exists to accompany those who long for a more rooted, prayerful, and awakened life in Christ.

Prayer is the deliberate act of the soul. It is true, full of grace, and lasting, for it is united with and fixed into the will of our Lord by the inner working of the Holy Spirit.

--Julian of Norwich, Revelations of Divine Love.
"Thus do we grow, and carried above ourselves, above reason, into the very heart of love, there do we feed according to the spirit; and taking flight for the Godhead by naked love, we go to the encounter of the Bridegroom, to the encounter of His Spirit, which is His love; and thus we are brought forth by God, out of our selfhood, into the immersion of love, in which we possess blessedness and are one with God."

--John of Ruysbrooeck, Adornment of the Spiritual Marriage.
Only in silence and solitude, in the quiet of worship, the reverant peace of prayer, the adoration in which the entire ego-self silences and abases itself in the presence of the Invisible God, only in these "activities" which are "non-actions" does the spirit truly wake from the dream of a multifarious and confused existence."

--Thomas Merton, On Eastern Meditation.
"To know Christ in the modern world is to know him in your world now. To know him in your world now is to live interactively with him right where you are in your daily activities. This is the spiritual life in Christ."

-- Dallas Willard, Knowing Christ Today
"More than anything, prayer is primarily listening and waiting. We listen for God in an attitude of openness of heart, humility of spirit, and quietness of soul. We let our mind descend into our heart and there stand in the presence of God."

-- Henri Nouwen, Spiritual Direction.
"Now let us turn at last to our castle with its many mansions. You must not think of them as placed in succession, but fix your eyes on the centre, the apartment or court inhabited by the King. Like the kernel of the palmito, from which several rinds must be removed before reaching the eatable part, this principle chamber is surrounded and surmounted by many others. However large, magnificent and spacious you imagine this castle to be, you cannot exaggerate it; the capacity of the soul is beyond all our understanding, and the Sun within this palace enlightens every part of it."

-- Teresa of Avila, The Interior Castle.
