SUMMARY:At the Edge of Waiting: Centering Prayer and Celtic Spirituality - Online
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Carl McColman \nJoin us for an online retreat day where we will explore the connections between Celtic wisdom and contemplative spirituality! Celtic Christianity — the poetic and earth-positive spirituality of Ireland\, Scotland\, and Wales — has long been appreciated as one of the most beautiful expressions of faith in the western world. The Celts had a mystical sense of God’s abiding presence that was expressed through the venerations of holy wells and other sacred sites\, stories of remarkable saints who lived in deep harmony with nature\, and profound spirituality with roots in the ancient wisdom of the desert mothers and fathers. Our time together will celebrate Celtic spirituality in the light of the practice of Centering Prayer — which also has roots in the desert and remains a profound doorway into the ordinary mystical life. We will pay special attention to the Irish understanding of contemplation\, which will bring us to a deeper appreciation of the silent beauty of Centering Prayer. \nCarl McColman is the author of numerous contemplative books\, including “An Invitation to Celtic Wisdom\,” “The Big Book of Christian Mysticism\,” and “Eternal Heart.” Carl co-facilitates a Centering Prayer group in Decatur\, Georgia\, and is a commissioned presenter of Centering Prayer Introductory Workshops.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Centering Prayer as an 11th-Step Practice for those in 12-Step Programs
DESCRIPTION:The primary purpose of the 12-Step outreach team of Contemplative Outreach Northwest is to deepen our practice of the 11th step: “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him\, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.” We try to pass on the simple method of Centering Prayer to others in recovery. \nCentering Prayer is a type of prayer that has been used over the centuries\, but it is different from what we may think of as prayer. It is simply moving deep within ourselves\, in silence\, saying nothing\, asking for nothing\, just being and allowing our Higher Power to be with us. For those who are working a recovery program\, parallels can be found between the transformation that Centering Prayer brings and the process of growth facilitated as we work the 12 Steps. We believe that\, when applied as a daily supplement to the 12 Steps\, Centering Prayer opens us to the deepest dimension of spirituality. \nThis half-day Zoom workshop will introduce people in recovery to the practice of Centering Prayer\, with time to learn and practice the method\, ask questions\, and learn about local and national resources for continuing and deepening your practice. \nOn Zoom\nFree of charge\nHosted by St. Placid Priory Spirituality Center\, Olympia\, WA. \nINFORMATION –> click HERE.\nREGISTER NOW –> click HERE.
