SUMMARY:Becoming Ordinary and the Practice of Centering Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Come to me\, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens\, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you\, and learn from me\, for I am gentle and humble in heart\, and you will find rest for your souls. (Mt. 11.28-30) \nWhen we step on the spiritual path we bring our motivations and intentions with us. Our intentions often include the desire to draw closer to God and to become a better person. We may struggle with something we want to overcome thus inspiring us to work on ourselves. Once we have adopted a spiritual practice and have been on the path for a while we discover that the motivations that brought us to the journey can become impediments to our spiritual and emotional growth. Seeing ourselves more clearly allows us to surrender to God’s extraordinary love while being ordinary people. We understand that we are not trying to get anywhere or to become better. We are simply learning how to be and to rest in God’s love each moment. \nNOVEMBER 11-13\, 2022 | BEGINS 9:00AM ON FRI & ENDS 12 NOON ON SUN*\nALL SAINTS’ EPISCOPAL CHURCH\, CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA\n$275 COMMUTER WITH MEALS/ RESIDENTIAL PRICES WILL FOLLOW** \nJoy Andrews Hayter\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director whose offerings include Centering Prayer and other contemplative practices of the Christian Wisdom tradition. These practices encourage us to lean into the Love that is constantly being offered within a relational web of Sacred Unity. As a scientist she sees in the physical world an expression of that love. Joy has been practicing contemplative practices for 31 years\, Centering Prayer for 18 years\, and has been leading Centering Prayer /wisdom school retreats\, workshops\, and days of prayer since 2008. She was coordinator of the Centering Prayer program at Mercy Center in Burlingame 2018-2022\, and continues there as adjunct staff. \nRev. Amber Sturgess is an Episcopal Priest\, spiritual director\, retreat leader\, and a seeker on the contemplative path. She enjoys teaching contemplative practices that deepen our spiritual awareness.

SUMMARY:From Stillness to Being: Introductory Weekend in Centering Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Get to know Centering Prayer\, a silent meditation form of letting go. Let the silence carry you and let the music move you in your vitality. \nCentering Prayer is an ancient\, simple and silent form of meditation. What makes it special is the welcome of the inexorable flow of thoughts and feelings. Centering prayer is not something we do; it’s something we stop doing; we do let go and return to our innermost being. Our conditioning lies like a veil over our inner being and allows us happiness and the meaning of our lives in things\, feelings\, relationships\, activities\, substances search – ultimately in vain. Through the recurring letting go in Centering Prayer over time some of our conditioning may dissolve. \nMusic-driven movement and our creativity are two other avenues to get through sheaths of our conditioning to come to our core. The weekend is nourished by these three roots: Centering Prayer\, Movement of vitality and creativity. \nWhen: Fri. 11 November dinner at 6pm – Sun 13 November approx. 2.30pm\nWhere: Wohlgemutsheim Castle\, Baumkirchen\, Tyrol\nCourse costs: € 170 in cash on site\, as well as accommodation and meals (see registration form)\nContact and information: mayr.georg@gmail.com \nGeorge Mayr: Authorized Presenter for Centering Prayer and member of Global teams from Contemplative Outreach; Coach for Power of live dance.\nMarianne Steinberg: graduate holistic art therapist and dance and gestalt therapist. \n\nflyer_GermanIntroWorkshop_11-13Nov2022-1\n\nDownload the flyer for this event here. \nRegistration form\nSurname\ne-mail\nPhone optional)\nRoom request\, full board\, price for the whole weekend.
