Virtual Silent Saturday with Julie Saad

Contemplative Outreach of Columbus is offering a Virtual Silent Saturday. A Silent Saturday provides a few hours that are set aside for Centering Prayer, Lectio Divina, spiritual teaching and reflection. “Come rest awhile with the Lord” in preparation for Christmas.

Interior Silence: Resting in the Midst of Activity

Advent is a season of quiet and darkness but also includes a frenzy we often experience during the holidays. How can our contemplative practices help us experience interior silence during this holy time of year? How can our silence be the place of receptivity to God coming to us as our lives?

Julie is the author of Contemplative Life: Discovering Our Path into the Heart of God. Julie practices and teaches Centering Prayer and the other contemplative practices outlined in the book. She is a member of the Contemplative Outreach community in Denver and the coordinator of the Contemplative Living Experience program which is a formation program in contemplative life.

Expect that the day will begin at 8:30am and last until 2:30pm. EST
