Centering Prayer and Guard of the Heart 3 Day Retreat
December 12 @ 5:00 pm - December 14 @ 3:00 pm
$550.00
Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer which deepens our relationship with God, the indwelling Presence, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself.
Two Guard of the Heart practices, the Active Prayer Sentence and the Welcoming Prayer, are to be used when we are going about our daily lives, the Active Prayer Sentence under normal circumstances and the Welcoming Prayer when we experience afflictive emotions. This retreat will combine elements of a Centering Prayer Retreat with both instruction and practice in these two Guard of the Heart practices. The design of all of these comes from Thomas Keating through Contemplative Outreach.
Scholarship assistance is available. Please contact Reservations for application, reservations@stmaryssewanee.org, 931-598-5342.
