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 serves on the Retreat Service team for Contemplative Outreach Ltd. She continues to serve us here in NM.

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:Centering Prayer Introductory Series (ONLINE)
DESCRIPTION:Centering Prayer Online Introductory Series \nFirst meeting Sunday September 27\, 2020\, 1-5 pm (Pacific time zone)\nFollow up meetings: Sundays October 4\, October 11\, & October 25\, 1-4 pm (Pacific time zone)\nCost: $85 for the series of four sessions (First Session only\, $40) \n“Be still and know that I am God.” \nAre you feeling a desire to deepen your prayer or to learn about the Christian contemplative path? \nThis online introduction to Centering Prayer includes instruction\, group practice\, and opportunity for discussion and questions. \nCentering Prayer is a method of prayer which prepares us to more fully receive the gift of God’s presence. This is traditionally called contemplative prayer. Contemplative prayer is the opening of mind and heart–our whole being–to God\, the Ultimate Mystery\, beyond thoughts\, words and emotions. Centering Prayer facilitates the movement from more active modes of prayer–verbal\, mental\, or affective prayer–into a receptive prayer of resting in God. It emphasizes prayer as a personal relationship with God. \n~~~ \nMarty Badgett has been practicing Centering Prayer for the past 25 years. He has facilitated introductory workshops\, retreats\, and days of prayer for many years. He is currently the Northwest Bay Area Contemplative Outreach coordinator. \nCatherine Regan\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director\, retired psychologist\, and adjunct staff member at Mercy Center\, primarily serving on the Centering Prayer team. She has a special interest in fostering contemplative practices so urgently needed at this time in our world. \nJoy Andrews Hayter\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director dedicated to fostering Centering Prayer and other contemplative practices that help us become aware of God’s ever-present love. As a scientist\, she sees in the physical world an expression of that love. \nTo register for this program\, please go to\nwww.mercy-center.org or call 650-340-7474.

SUMMARY:Centering Prayer Introductory Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Centering Prayer is a form of Christian silent mediation where one lets go of thoughts during periods of prayer typically lasting 20 to 30 minutes. \nIt is rooted in the self-emptying love that forms the heart of Jesus’ teaching and life. The effect on those who practice it is an ever-increasing awareness of God’s action and presence in the course of ordinary life. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer; rather it casts a new light and depth of meaning on them. It is at the same time a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. This method of prayer is a movement beyond conversation with Christ to communion with him. \nIn this introductory workshop\, led by the Rev. Tom Ward\, participants will learn the method and principles of this prayer practice and have the opportunity to experience this ancient method in a quiet\, reflective atmosphere. \nThis event takes place via Zoom; to participate\, you must have internet access and a computer or tablet with an internet connection.
