SUMMARY:Centering Prayer Full-Day Retreat
DESCRIPTION:St. Mary’s Sewanee invites you to spend time in prayerful silence and contemplation during this day-long Centering Prayer retreat led by the Rev. Tom Ward and Rebecca Paluzzi. \nThis event is modeled on the rhythm of the multi-day retreats that St. Mary’s Sewanee has offered for more than 20 years. In preparing this new retreat format\, we have learned that technology is capable of bringing us together in ways that we could not have anticipated. During this day\, you are encouraged to fast from listening to the news and using electronic devices so that you can make holy space to observe silence with the group and on your own. \nThe retreat will include: \nThree periods of Centering Prayer;\n–Morning and Evening Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer;\n–Lectio Divina in a group setting; and\n–Generous breaks throughout the day for rest\, reflection\, and journaling. \nFor people new to Centering Prayer\, we encourage you to participate in the Introduction to Centering Prayer Workshop to learn the basics of the practice. \nThis event takes place via Zoom; to participate\, you must have internet access and a computer or tablet with an internet connection.

SUMMARY:Half Day Centering Prayer Retreat: “Lost in the Mystery: Radical Contemplative Living” Part 1
DESCRIPTION:SPONSORED BY CONTEMPLATIVE OUTREACH OF MARYLAND AND WASHINGTON (COMW) \n“God is so intimately present to us that the constant awareness of God’s presence is always available to us\, if we are open to it. It embraces us\, everything in our lives\, and all reality at the same time. Being in the presence of God as much as we can all day long is the secret of continuous growth in contemplative prayer.”\n– Father Thomas Keating \nHow can we live in the mystery of God always? In other words\, how can we pray without ceasing? And what does that even mean? How is unceasing prayer related to our regular sitting practice of Centering Prayer? We will delve into these questions and more in this two-part series on radical contemplative living. \nLost in the Mystery: Radical Contemplative Living Part 1 \nIn Part 1\, “Lost in the Mystery\,” we will discuss deeper ways of practicing Centering Prayer\, the issue of transcending the method of Centering Prayer\, what pure prayer is\, and how sitting practice relates to unceasing prayer. \nThe morning will include three 30 minute periods of centering prayer and an interactive discussion. \nLed by COMW Leadership Team Member\nLJ Milone\nSubject to Change \n8:45am to 9:00am check in and get centered (Eastern time zone)\n9:00am 30-minute Centering Prayer\, 5-minute contemplative “walk”\, followed by 25-minutes Centering Prayer\n10-minute break\nLJ’s presentation and discussion—about 90 minutes\n11:30 30-minute Centering Prayer \nFor additional information and registration instructions\, click on the link below.\nContact COMW Chapter Coordinator with questions: martha@marthajohnston.com.\nSuggested $15 goodwill offering per half-day retreat.

SUMMARY:Richard Rohr\, OFM - "When Everything is Adrift"
DESCRIPTION:We are offered a tremendous opportunity in our day to change ourselves and our world. This opportunity may be described as a time of major regression\, denial of the past and even collapse! This is no exaggeration as we look at the state of our planet\, our worldwide politics of despair\, the abandonment of many religious traditions and Western Christianity in particular\, the loss of moral authority through the pedophilia crisis in the Catholic Church\, and what historians will probably refer to as the abandonment of truth. Not to mention the pandemic and its global effects. How do we rebuild on such a non-foundation? \nPlease see the event web link below for more information and to register.
