SUMMARY:Centering Prayer Weekend Retreat (ONLINE)
DESCRIPTION:Healing and Transformation on the Contemplative Path \nNovember 13-15\, 2020\nBegins Friday at 10:00 a.m. and\nConcludes Sunday at 1 p.m.\n$225 (Scholarship funds available on request) \nWhen we take our first loving step towards God on the contemplative path we may or may not realize that we are crossing a threshold into a new transformative way of living – one which requires us to let go of our illusions about ourselves and in humility embrace the truth of who we are\, an identity yet to be discovered. This transformative process becomes a means of healing life’s traumas and our unconscious motivations thus bringing us into a deeper awareness of our true nature and expanding our perception and understanding of humanity and our place in the universe. \nPlease join us for a weekend – with God\, and with a praying community– to deepen our consent to this transformation. \nHow will the virtual retreat work?\nThe flexible schedule is designed to integrate prayer with your daily life\, in your home\, and in your circumstances as they are. Teaching sessions will include experiential\, participatory\, and embodied exercises to draw us in more deeply into the healing\, contemplative space. Breaks will be provided to help integrate the retreat with your life\, as it is. \nProgram Features\n• Live Online Centering Prayer Sessions – Join via Zoom at scheduled times\, or practice on your own at those same scheduled times\, or as your life permits.\n• Live Online Teaching Sessions – Join us live via Zoom or view recordings at a later time.\n• Live Online Small Groups – for experiential processing (not recorded).\nWe hope that you will choose as much or as little of it as fits in your life\, on any given day. Let the rest go. Be met\, exactly where you are\, trusting that God’s love surrounds all of it\, all of us\, exactly as we are. \nRev. 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 currently serves as Rector of All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Carmel. \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 participating in the reclamation of the Christian Wisdom tradition and fostering the contemplative practices so urgently needed at this time in our world. \nJoy Andrews Hayter\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director\, and Centering Prayer coordinator at Mercy Center. Joy is dedicated to fostering contemplative practices such as Centering Prayer and others within the Christian Wisdom tradition that help us become aware of God’s ever-present love. As a scientist (and dancer\, writer\, and hiker) she sees in the physical world an expression of that love. \nPlease save the date. Registration will open soon at www.mercy-center.org or telephone 650-340-7474\nRegistration closes November 12\, 2020

SUMMARY:A Tale of Two Thomases: Crossing Troubles Waters with Thomas Keating and Thomas Berry
DESCRIPTION:“It’s all a question of story. We are in trouble just now because we do not have a good story. We are between stories. ”\n~ Thomas Berry \nThe recent pandemic has shown just how connected and small the 21st century world has become. The fragility of the human species is more evident with each passing day. To cross these troubled waters\, we need wise guides. Fortunately\, two men named Thomas can help to lead us through these challenging times. Rick Klein will weave together the inner journey spiritual wisdom of Thomas Keating with the outer journey spiritual and scientific wisdom of Thomas Berry\, creating an emerging story of hope for the future. \nRick gives talks and workshops on contemplative spirituality throughout Colorado. He is a teacher of Centering Prayer and has presented workshops on science and spirituality\, compassion\, and mysticism at the Center for Contemplative Living. He is a past facilitator and teacher in the Benedictine Spiritual Formation Program offered by Benet Hill Monastery. \nThere is no book for this class. \nPlease see the link below for more information and to register.
