SUMMARY:Centering Prayer Dual-Track Intensive Post-Intensive Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Centering Prayer Intensive Retreats\nIntensive Retreats provide an opportunity to immerse participants in the practice of Centering Prayer\, as taught by Contemplative Outreach.  Throughout the retreat experience one becomes more immersed in the conceptual background of the spiritual practice. \nThe Intensive Retreat includes up to three hours of Centering Prayer and a DVD about the spiritual journey each day. Soul friending with the staff can be scheduled. An established practice in daily centering prayer of at least 6 months is highly recommended. \nCentering Prayer Post Intensive Retreats\nPost Intensive Retreats provide an opportunity for even more intensive Centering Prayer\, solitude and silence in community.  The Post Intensive is much more silent\, in that no DVDs are shown\, and it includes up to five hours of Centering Prayer daily.  Most days are spent in "grand silence\," when you are asked not to speak or make eye contact. Most Post Intensive retreatants have been doing Centering Prayer for a year or more and have also experienced a previous Intensive Retreat\, so the silence can be very deep. \nBefore attending one of these retreats\, one should have an established daily practice of Centering Prayer for at least six months to a year.  It is assumed one has a foundation fairly well in place and the focus of the retreats is on the refinement of Centering Prayer practice itself. \nRetreat Leaders\nSusan Rush (Santa Fe\, NM) Susan has been serving in the field of health care throughout her adult life. She has been involved with Contemplative Outreach for about three decades. Susan was the founding coordinator of Contemplative Outreach of New Mexico\, and served on the governing board of CO\, Ltd for ten years.

She facilitated At Home Retreats in NY prior to moving to NM. She was introduced to Centering Prayer in 1994. She is the current Coordinator of Contemplative Outreach NM\, a Commissioned Presenter for Centering Prayer and a Group facilitator.    \nSchedule and Cost\nThe retreat begins with dinner on Monday September 21\, 2020 and closes Sunday morning\, September 27\, 2020 by 11:00 a.m. The fee of $725 includes the retreat\, meals and a single room with centrally located shower/baths.

SUMMARY:Wisdom Begins in Wonder and Awe
DESCRIPTION:There are two books of scripture: Nature and the Bible. The wonder of creation demands and teaches us to see and believe that everything is a miracle and calls us into mystery\, awe\, silence\, and surrender to the vastness beyond oneself. Per Richard Rohr\, “Creation is our first and final cathedral. Nature is the one song of praise that never stops singing.” Being present to the wonder and awe in nature awakens the mind\, triggers curiosity and transforms the isolated self into the integrated\, contemplative self. The topic will explore the scientific evidence that nature is transformative and healing for a society with nature deprivation disorder and technology driven narcissism. Integration of nature in daily life is a research proven well-being skill and a contemplative practice. \nDr. Christine O’Brien (Travers) has been involved with Contemplative Outreach since 1992. As a doctor for 37 years she has seen the powerful effects of spiritual belief on health. As a mother of seven children she knows the challenges of nurturing a family with loving kindness and compassion. As Medical Director of Whole Health Program for the Cheyenne VA\, she uses research on neuroscience to validate and teach veterans about the human ability to transform in mind\, body and soul with contemplative practice. \nPlease see the link below for more information and to register.
