CO of Austin, TX -
The Heart of Texas Chapter of the Greater Austin area is growing in Spirit. From the 22 attending July's Formation Training (presented by Timothy Koock), 12 became new Presenters -in-Training. To date, they have helped introduce Centering Prayer to 75 people, in customary settings as well as in Methodist, Episcopal, and Unity churches. In addition, we are excited about the Five-Day Welcoming Prayer Immersion led by Timothy Koock, to be held at Cedarbrake Retreat Center, Aug 20-25. Contact person: Judith Strassman,(512) 585-2500, .

CO of Denver, CO -
The Center for Contemplative Living in Denver has been blessed with a grand new space and we are now enjoying our first year at our new address, 3650 Yates Street, Denver, CO 80212. We look forward to many years in this location that will carry us forward into the next stage of our growth here in Colorado. Spring 2008 brought an air of excitement as we prepared for 600 attendees at our March Annual Conference. This year we welcomed Fr. Thomas Keating as our keynote speaker. People from across Colorado and the country come to experience the teaching of our spiritual leader and to reconnect with the greater community of Contemplative Outreach. We continue to present new programs such as our Thursday night spirituality seminars and David Frenette’s Deepening Centering Prayer to support prayer practitioners no matter what their level. We hope to carry forward these successful programs into Fall 2008 in addition to our Introductory Workshop, The Spiritual Journey Series, Saturday Immersion Experiences, Days of Prayer and the Nine Month Course. Our annual October Mini-Retreat, our Advent and Spring Retreats at the Sacred Heart Jesuit Retreat Center, and a growing network of prayer communities along the Front Range offer other opportunities to deepen our prayer practices and our spiritual growth. Our servant leadership teams and volunteer staff are blessed to serve a growing community of seekers.

Ogden, UT -
Our group continues to meet monthly. We have added a few new members since our last update so we are now ten strong. When we have new members join us we continue to show the video series "Follow up Sessions to the Introductory Workshop." We find they give the new members a firm foundation and it is a good review for those of us who have been centering for sometime. At other times we are continuing to read Father Basil Pennington's book "Centered Living." We have found Parish Bulletins are a good place to let people know we are meeting. One of our new members saw our update in the last Outreach Newsletter and brought a friend. It does pay to keep you informed of what we are about. We appreciate the Contemplative Outreach Newsletter. The articles are so inspirational and encouraging. God bless you for all of the work you do.
