Taize. Song. Scripture. Silence.

Join us for a weekend of prayer and reflection with Br. Emile of Taize. The weekend will include Taize prayer, time for silent reflection, group workshops and bible study, and sharing meals together.

We will reflect on Jesus’ question in John’s Gospel: What are you seeking? Brother Matthew, the Prior of Taize, has written a letter for 2026 where he asks us to consider this question and provides ways for us to pray, reflect, and act on our answers.

  • How does our present situation compel us to pause and consider this question?
  • Are we seeking Meaning, Silence, Direction, Joy, Justice, Hope, Community, Peace?
  • How can we find the courage to begin answering the question Jesus asks?

Brother Emile has been a leader and teacher in the Taizé community since 1976.
