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.

The Minnesota chapter of Contemplative Outreach is joined by spiritual directors Sam Rahberg and Peter Watkins to explore and experience how time-tested practices\, including Ignatius’ Praying with Imagination and Examen\, can complement and support the practice of Centering Prayer. \n1-4pm Central Time. \nEvent fee is voluntary – suggested offering of $20. \nTo register\, please see the website link below.
