SUMMARY:Centering Prayer Advanced Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Reclaiming the Mystical Heart of Christianity How Centering Prayer Can Deepen Your Experience of God\nContemplative Silent Retreat with Cynthia Bourgeault and other Contemplative Leaders\n \nReclaiming the Mystical Heart of Christianity\nHow Centering Prayer Can Deepen Your Experience of God\nContemplative Silent Retreat with Cynthia Bourgeault and other Contemplative Leaders \nNovember 8-14\, 2019 or November 8-10\, 2019 \nThis retreat provides a sacred opportunity for a large community of contemplatives to gather as a healing presence to the world and to one another. Individually you’ll deepen your Centering Prayer practice with Cynthia Bourgeault\, one of the great contemplative guides of our time. The retreat will unpack some of the key ideas in her highly acclaimed book The Heart of Centering Prayer: Nondual Christianity in Theory and Practice. Emphasis will be placed on the notion of “nondual personhood\,” as well as the method and foundations of the Centering Prayer practice. Participants will see that Centering Prayer is not simply a Christianized form of other meditation methods\, rather a method that has its own specific mechanism to transform consciousness from a narrow to broader perspectives of personhood. \nThis retreat will be held in silence. Each day will include wisdom teaching with Cynthia\, movement practice\, Contemplative Eucharist\, chanting\, and multiple Centering Prayer periods. The retreat is open to practitioners on all spiritual pathways\, the basis for our conceptual exploration and practical work will lie in centering prayer and the christian theological perspective which underlies it. All levels are welcome\, though an established centering prayer or meditation practice is helpful. For those who cannot attend the full week\, we welcome participants to join us for the weekend of November 8-10. \nAs part of the Christian contemplative experience\, Holy Family Retreat Center is providing workshops and retreats to learn more about Centering Prayer and develop a practice in advance of this retreat. It is highly recommended that all attendees new to Centering Prayer attend a Centering Prayer Introductory Workshop prior to this retreat; the more you bring\, the more you receive. \nPlease visit to learn more and to register: https://www.holyfamilyretreat.org/calendar/reclaiming-the-mystical-heart-of-christianity \nThe following teachers will be assisting and supporting Cynthia in her leadership of the retreat: \n\nRev. Matthew Wright\nRev. Bill Redfield\nFr. Michael Holleran\nFr. Bill Sheehan\nAllen Bourque\nMiranda Chapman\nDeborah Welsh

SUMMARY:Centering Prayer Retreat
DESCRIPTION:May we all Be One: Centering Prayer and the Path of Oneness	November 15 – 17\, 2019\n	Begins Friday at 6:00 p.m. and Concludes Sunday at 1 p.m.\n	$325/$275 Commuter \n“The glory that you have given me I have given them\, so that they may be one\, as we are one\, I in them and you in me\, that they may become completely one\, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me”. John 17.22-23 \nJesus’ deepest desire for his disciples was the transmission of his own personal experience of oneness with God and oneness with all things. He desires for us to experience and to live in this awareness of being One – a state which transcends all identifications in personality and tribe and finds rest in that profoundly silent place in our soul where God dwells. \n\n	What would be the implications if we consent to this Oneness? How does it change our identity\, our sense of who we are? How would it change our daily living – our conversations\, the organization of our day\, our focus at work\, our citizenship\, our relationships\, and our prayer life? \n\n	Join us for a weekend of silence\, Centering Prayer\, and a deepening consent to God’s presence and transforming action. Our retreat will include conferences\, sharing\, liturgy\, contemplative free time in the natural beauty of the Mercy Center grounds\, rest\, and opportunity for gentle yoga and body work. \n\n	Rev. Amber Sturgess is an Episcopal Priest\, spiritual director\, and a seeker on the contemplative path. She enjoys teaching contemplative practices that deepen our spiritual awareness. Amber serves as Rector of All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Carmel.\n	Catherine Regan\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director\, clinical psychologist\, and Centering Prayer teacher at Mercy Center. She has a special interest in contemplative practices and the benefits of these practices in our individual and collective lives at this time in our world \nPlease register at www.mercy-center.org or telephone 650-340-7474\n	Registration closes November 8\, 2019
