Philip stumbled upon meditation and hasn’t looked back since. Struggling to be present and suffering from a racing mind and bouts of anger, by an act of grace, he experimented with 10 minutes of silent prayer and discovered God’s wide open spaces.
Having explored the contemplative spiritual tradition since then, his daily spiritual practice of meditation and contemplation has seen him live from his heart and not his head. Married to Susan and seeing their life and relationship transformed, the couple started The Gathering Cloud in 2016, a contemplative spiritual space that emphasizes divine love and being present. Expressions include a weekly guided meditation class at their local yoga studio and gatherings in homes and venues nearby and far. They are passionate about seeing people experience communion with the divine, with others, and with themselves.
