SUMMARY:Praying with the Ear of our Heart-A Lectio Divina Retreat
DESCRIPTION:The focus of the retreat will be a Lectio Divina Introductory Workshop based on Fr. Thomas Keating’s teachings of the Four Senses of Scripture. The experience of praying with Holy Scripture will be supported by Centering Prayer periods with ample time for personal reflection and/or exploring the many trails on the partially wooded 140 acres in the hills of Pennsylvania. \nLectio Divina reveals the four senses of Scripture-the literal\, the allegorical\, the moral/behavioral and the unitive in a Spirit-led\, transformative experience of relationship with the Divine. Come and let the Spirit speak to your heart as you “hear” scripture revealed through this ancient monastic prayer form. \nLed by: Elizabeth Graboski-a longtime contemplative prayer practitioner and a commissioned presenter of Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina for Contemplative Outreach. Currently serves with Contemplative Outreach Central Pennsylvania local chapter for the Spiritual Enrichment and Formation for Facilitators of Centering Prayer Groups. \nBethany Retreat Center\n1031 Germania Rd\, Frenchville\, PA 16836 \nOffering: $397.00 (Cost includes accommodations\, all meals & retreat)\nDeposit: $75.00\nArrival: 3:00-5:00 on Wednesday\, September 7\, 2022\nDeparture: 12:00 pm on Saturday\, September 10\, 2022 \n*Commuter option available.

SUMMARY:How Contemplation Can Heal A Violent World
DESCRIPTION:In the 25th Anniversary celebration of Contemplative Outreach of Maryland and Washington DC (COMW)\, the Right Rev. Eugene Taylor Sutton\, Bishop of Maryland\, COMW co-founder\, will lead a full-day program on how contemplation is as relevant as ever in today’s world of violence at all levels of our lives\, both domestically and globally. Indeed\, Centering Prayer\, as one form of contemplation\, is a method for stilling our mind\, and in silence opening our hearts to peace and understanding\, thereby creating a foundation for a nonviolent response to any event that occurs in our lives.

SUMMARY:12-Step Introductory Workshop on Centering Prayer as 11th-Step Practice - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Centering Prayer as an 11th Step Practice Introductory Workshop and a presentation on The Human Condition \nWe have discovered that even when we live with great resolve\, determination\, and effort\, we cannot heal ourselves. Yes\, there are things we can do\, but we came to believe that healing is the work of our higher power. As we consent to God’s presence and action within us through the Centering Prayer practice\, we open ourselves to the exact healing we most need. \nFour continuing sessions also by Zoom Saturdays 9:00-10:00 am Central Time\nSeptember 17th\, 24th\, and October 1st\, and 8th

SUMMARY:Centering Prayer: An 11th-Step Practice - Introductory Workshop via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:We have found Centering Prayer to be a meaningful method for our daily 11th-step meditation practice. To share this method with others in 12-step recovery\, we are offering this workshop to teach participants about the practice of Centering Prayer. We will also have a talk about the human condition\, which will help explain why we need a daily 11th-step practice. Times noted are in Central Time (Chicago). \nIn addition to the workshop on September 10th\, registration includes continuing sessions on the four Saturday mornings following the workshop. These optional sessions will each last for about an hour and will allow workshop participants to join us to: 1) practice Centering Prayer together\, 2) learn more about the prayer practice and 3) ask questions. These continuing session will be held September 17 and 24 and October 1 and 8 at 9AM Central Time.
