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

SUMMARY:Rabbi Rami Shapiro –  8 Points of Agreement and First\, Stop Playing God – via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Rabbi Rami Shapiro enjoyed a close relationship with Fr. Thomas Keating and was invited to participate\, starting in 1984\, in the Snowmass Interreligious  Dialogue that was published in The Common Heart.  What a blessing for all of us that Rami will share the “8 Points of Agreement” that emerged from those amazing conversations!  \nIn Addition – Twelve-Step Spirituality is for everyone because everyone suffers from the foundational addiction of humankind: playing God. In this talk\, Rabbi Rami will use elements of the Twelve Steps as well as insights common to all mystical traditions\, including Thomas Keating\, to explore the notion of playing God and the liberating realization that God is playing us. This presentation will include a 20-minute Centering Prayer session. \nRabbi Rami Shapiro\, PhD is an award–winning author of over thirty–six books on religion\, spirituality\, and recovery. Rami co–directs the One River Foundation\, is a Contributing Editor with Spirituality and Health magazine\, hosts two podcasts— Essential Conversations with Rabbi Rami\, and Conversations on the Edge—and a weekly Zoom “talk show” called Roadside Assistance at the Corner of Tohu va-Vohu (Wild and Chaos). He is an initiate of the Ramakrishna Order of Vedanta Hinduism\, a 32° Scottish Rite Mason (KCCH) and the 2020 recipient of the Huston Smith Award for Excellence in Inter-Spiritual Education. \nTimes Listed are Mountain Time (Denver Colorado)\nClick the link below to register.
