SUMMARY:Contemplative Immersion Retreat
DESCRIPTION:This retreat will focus on Centering Prayer and the integration of consent in our lives. We will explore being attentive to the wholeness of our being and the knowledge and presence resident in our bodies. We will explore the calling to live in a higher mode of consciousness\, one of abundance and liberation. This invocation comes with responsibility to remove the obstacles we have in us which arise from the addictive and reactive structures that restrict our growth. \nThis program will be offered in-person at Holy Family simultaneously with a group also on retreat in-person in Chicago. The two groups will have a personal presence at both locations and will also share teaching\, periods of Centering Prayer\, Lectio Divina and Chanting between both locations online throughout the weekend.

SUMMARY:Centering Prayer: Weekend Immersion - Deepening the Contemplative Dimension of Life
DESCRIPTION:This retreat will focus on Centering Prayer and the integration of consent in our lives. There will be communal Centering Prayer sessions each day. We will explore attentiveness to the wholeness of our being and open to the knowledge and presence resident in our bodies. Centering Prayer will open us to a deepening felt sense of presence. We will explore the calling to live into a higher mode of consciousness\, one of abundance and liberation. This invocation comes with responsibility to remove the obstacles we have in us which arise from the addictive and reactive structures that restrict our growth. \nWe will meet for Centering Prayer sessions and brief presentations with each session. In addition to reflection and prayer\, you will be invited to practice attention throughout the weekend. We assume that participants have a regular practice of Centering Prayer. \nThis retreat is a collaboration between the Contemplative Outreach Chicago and Connecticut Chapters.

Alan Krema’s presentation will be virtual via Zoom to Holy Family Retreat Center and Mike Smoolca’s presentation will be virtual via Zoom to La Salle Manor. This registration form is for the Chicago area in-person participants or virtual attendees using Zoom. \nIn the Chicago area\, the retreat will be held at the La Salle Manor Retreat Center\, 12480 Galena Rd\, Plano\, Illinois.
