SUMMARY:Introduction to Centering Prayer Workshop via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:A weekly\, evening meeting program to provide the basics for people seeking a path to contemplative prayer. Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer to receive the gift of contemplative prayer\, in which we experience God’s presence within us\, closer than breathing\, closer than consciousness itself. This method of prayer is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. \nThe first 2 meetings offer a presentation of 1. Prayer as Relationship\, 2. The Method of Centering Prayer\, 3. Thoughts and Use the Sacred Word\, and 4. Deepening Our Relationship with God. \nThe remaining 5 meetings feature videos of Father Thomas Keating on Centering Prayer followed by discussion. \nAt the conclusion of the workshop\, participants are encouraged to find a group in the Meditation Chapel  to join to continue their journey. \nRegister by sending an email to cthompson427@comcast.net. The Zoom link information will be sent to registered participants prior to January 20\, 2021.\nMeeting times are Pacific Standard Time.\nMaximum registration will be 30 people.

SUMMARY:Centering Prayer: Weekend Immersion via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Deepening the Contemplative Dimension of Life \nContemplative Outreach Chicago is sponsoring this online 2021 Winter Weekend Retreat\, with Alan Krema as retreat guide. \nThis retreat will immerse us into three days of Centering Prayer with attentiveness to our activities between the meditation sessions. We will explore awareness of our being and openness to the presence resident in our bodies. We will listen to the calling of living into abundance and liberation. This comes with responsibility to remove the obstacles we have in us arising from the addictive and reactive structures that restrict our growth. \nWe will meet for Centering Prayer sessions with small presentations in each session. Between meditation sessions we will be invited to carry the awareness of our Divine indwelling source into the tasks of our day. In addition to reflection and prayer\, you will be invited to have simple tasks like meal preparation available for you to practice attention. Couples are encouraged to participate together. We assume that participants have a regular practice of Centering Prayer. \nThe schedule will include five sessions (US Central time): \nFriday Evening 7:00 – 8:30 pm\nSaturday Morning 9:00 – 11:00 am\nSaturday Afternoon 1:00 – 3:00 pm\nSaturday Evening 6:00 – 7:00 pm\nSunday Morning 9:00 am – 12:00 pm \nAlan Krema is a presenter of Centering Prayer and Welcoming Prayer for Contemplative Outreach. Alan is a Wisdom student of Cynthia Bourgeault and has completed the Living School program at the Center for Action and Contemplation. He is a long time practitioner of Centering Prayer as well as facilitator of several Centering Prayer groups. Alan currently serves as chapter coordinator for Contemplative Outreach Chicago and is a member of the Shalem Institute program for Group Spiritual Leadership. \nRegistration\nThere is no charge for this retreat.
