Trexo: a gym for your soul
Hearts up! Ancient Christian practice for modern life
The Trexo Practices are based on what the earliest Christians did: how they prayed, worshiped, gathered, served one another. They didn’t think themselves into relationship with God - they practiced.
And how they taught each other the faith through spiritual practice.
Trexo Practice is Pre-Denominational
These Practices existed before the divisions of Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant. They unite all Christians because they’re foundational to all traditions.
No matter what denomination you belong to - or even if you don’t formally belong to any church or denomination - you are practicing with Christians of all kinds, over all ages.
Trexo Practices fit within the specifics of any particular congregation or denomination you belong to. They are the root from which all Christian traditions grow.

The Practices
1. The Daily Anchor (Individual Practice)
Short, simple practices you can do every day, wherever you are. The monastics prayed at fixed hours, round the clock.
Practices:
Hearts up! (Sursum Corda)
the Jesus Prayer
Bodily Prayer.
2. The Weekly Rhythm (Community Practice)
Practices that they require us to practice together: already established congregations, our friends and family, or informal gatherings of Trexo (or other community) members.
Practices:
Eucharist
Sabbath
3. Seasonal Intensives (Deeper Training)
We practice most intensively during the seasons set aside for preparation since the earliest church: Advent and Lent. These Practices align us - personally and communally - with the ancient and eternal rhythm of God’s saving actions in the world. And our response to these.
Practices:
Vigil
Fasting

Meet the Trainers
Hear directly from the earliest spiritual directors
Wednesdays at 3:30pm ET, we gather live at Trexo for Coffee with Coaches.
In each session, we sit down with one of the Trainers - drawing on their actual writings, their documented wisdom, their lived experience of the Practices - and interviews them using the same five questions
(usually! Sometimes the Trainer or the topic suggests different questions, but we generally follow this pattern):
Why did you practice this? What difference did it make?
Where do I start?
What did people in your time struggle with?
This is hard. What is your advice?
What will look different in my life if I practice this way?
And each interview closes with a blessing - a direct quote from the Trainer, in their own words, for you.
