Five-day In-person Welcoming & Centering Prayer Retreat – Jun 10 – 14th
This five-day, in-person Centering Prayer – Welcoming Prayer Retreat is offered by The Church of Conscious Harmony and begins Fri, Jun 10th at 5pm US Central (Dallas) time and concludes Tue, Jun 14th at 10:30am at Cedarbrake Renewal Center in Belton, Texas.
Led by Pamela Begeman and Jill Frank.
This is a very spacious and silent retreat, with minimal group instruction and plenty of 1-1 instruction as needed. Guided Welcoming Prayer practice will be offered as a vestibule to the sessions of Centering Prayer. Each full retreat day will include three hours of Centering Prayer, lots of silence and solitude, acres of nature to enjoy, optional spiritual companioning and vegetarian meals. There will also be a morning yoga practice and restorative yoga in the afternoons to support integration of the prayer in our bodies. Lectio Divina, Eucharist and compline complete each day.
The Welcoming Prayer is an incarnational method of consenting to God’s presence and action in our physical and emotional reactions to people and events in daily life. This “consent-on-the-go” embodied practice deepens our relationship with God as we move through the ordinary activities of our day, helping us to stay in the presence of God and the present moment.
The Welcoming Prayer practice will be guided, however as background and for those new to the practice we recommend purchase and review of the “Welcoming Prayer: Consent on the Go” 40-day praxis booklet from Contemplative Outreach to prepare you and offer support following the retreat. It is available in either a hardcopy or PDF version.
The cost is $600 for a single room. For more details and to register, select the link below or call the church office at 512-347-9673.
