Stillpoint Center

What is the Stillpoint Center for Spiritual Development?

From their website, "Stillpoint is a non-profit center devoted to spiritual development in Las Vegas, Nevada. Founded by a group of Roman Catholic women, its focus is interfaith and ecumenical."

They offer things like Dances for Peace, Singing Bowls Meditation (Tibetan/Buddhist), and Dream Interpretation and Using Your Hands to Heal.

What is disturbing about Stillpoint is that they set up shop at last year's Diocesan Conference and represented themselves as a Catholic organization. Christ the King Catholic Community even directs parishioners to them on their website.

While they do present Lectiona Divina, which is Catholic, there are also New Age, nondenominational Christian and Buddhist programs on the schedule. They even have a 2-year Spiritual Direction program, which we can only assume must be based on nondenominational Christianity, because Catholic programs occur via the LEMP, and the program description makes no mention of any particular faith whatsoever.
