Introduction to Centering Prayer Workshop via Zoom
January 20, 2021 @ 5:00 pm - March 10, 2021 @ 6:30 pm
free will offering to Contemplative Outreach NorthwestA weekly, evening meeting program to provide the basics for people seeking a path to contemplative prayer. Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer to receive the gift of contemplative prayer, in which we experience God’s presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than consciousness itself. This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship.
The first 2 meetings offer a presentation of 1. Prayer as Relationship, 2. The Method of Centering Prayer, 3. Thoughts and Use the Sacred Word, and 4. Deepening Our Relationship with God.
The remaining 5 meetings feature videos of Father Thomas Keating on Centering Prayer followed by discussion.
At the conclusion of the workshop, participants are encouraged to find a group in the Meditation Chapel to join to continue their journey.
Register by sending an email to cthompson427@comcast.net. The Zoom link information will be sent to registered participants prior to January 20, 2021.
Meeting times are Pacific Standard Time.
Maximum registration will be 30 people.
