David Frenette

March 12-20, 2010

A Special Nine-Day Intensive Centering Prayer Retreat Training at the Garrison Institute — a beautiful retreat facility on the Hudson River in New York State.
Hosted by Contemplative Outreach

Training to Help Your Centering Prayer Deepen

David Frenette is teaching a new, unique and transformative nine-day retreat training on how to deepen Centering Prayer into contemplation.

In addition to being an intensive Centering Prayer retreat, this event is also an in-depth training on how to pray for your entire spiritual life journey. You will learn how to better practice Centering Prayer, and the ways to go beyond your current level of spiritual development.

This retreat training provides guidance and encouragement for Centering Prayer practitioners, particularly those who sometimes feel stuck in their practice, discouraged by their thoughts or struggles to find God (all of us!), and for anyone who wants to take their practice to the next level.

These teachings are specifically geared towards providing practical help for people at all degrees of experience—beginning, intermediate and advanced.

These instructions and experiences help you open to God’s life in your contemplative practice, enfolding your own efforts to find God in the abundance of Christ’s grace.
