SUMMARY:Introduction to Centering Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Introduction to Centering Prayer retreat to deepen your personal relationship with God\, and to prepare to receive the gift of contemplation. Introduction to Centering Prayer will allow you to be still and know God through this method of Christian silent prayer. \nThis retreat consists of four conferences of contemplative practice\, study\, and support. \nSession one is a deeper look into prayer\, specifically Centering Prayer\, as a relationship with God.\nSession two provides initial instruction into the practice of Centering Prayer itself\, with the introduction to the choice and purpose of your personal sacred word.\nSession three provides a deeper level of understanding of the Centering Prayer Practice that includes both the sacred word and silence as prayer\, and insight into your various processes of thought. All of these combine to open you to giving consent to God’s presence and action.\nSession four provides a connection between the method and practice of Centering Prayer and being fully present in everyday life by removing the obstacles to the state of union with God.\nAdditional retreats are scheduled throughout the year to enable you to enhance your regular practice of Centering Prayer.

SUMMARY:The Contemplative Spirituality of Icons and Iconography
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative Enrichment Day with Marek Czarnecki \nIcons in the Orthodox Christian tradition have been used as visual theology and as windows into the spiritual world. Through sacred imagery\, the Holy Spirit speaks to the believer\, revealing deep truths that may not be evident in other ways\, leading the believer into the depths of prayer and contemplation. During this day\, we will share the spiritual foundations of icons\, reveal the contemplative practice of writing icons\, and experience the contemplative practice of praying with icons. \nThis program will be offered both in-person and online via Zoom. Information on how to access the program on Zoom will be sent to participants in advance. \nThis program will include a morning and an afternoon session of Centering Prayer. \nMarek Czarnecki is a gifted iconographer and artist\, teaching and writing icons out of his liturgical arts studio\, Seraphic Restorations\, in Meriden\, Connecticut. He is a student of Russian Orthodox iconographer Ksenia Pokrovsky. Marek is a popular icon workshop and retreat leader. His icons have been featured in numerous exhibits\, videos and articles\, including The New York Times and St. Anthony Messenger.
