These conferences will reveal that our thoughts\, images\, and hopes must be rooted in a stance of calm\, courageous peace\, expressed daily in our care and concern for one another. Only then can we live to the fullest the virtues of silence\, simplicity\, solitude\, and solidarity.\nFor more information see https://www.pghcenteringprayer.org/newsletter/ URL:https://www.contemplativeoutreach.org/event/contemplative-outreach-pittsburgh-presents-a-two-day-retreat-triple-way-to-transformation/ LOCATION:Villa Maria Education and Spirituality Center\, 2067 Evergreen St.\, Villa Maria\, PA\, 16155\, United States CATEGORIES:Retreat ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.contemplativeoutreach.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/VMESC1.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Victoria E Graham":MAILTO:coordinator@pghcenteringprayer.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230414T103000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20230416T160000 DTSTAMP:20230123T230450Z CREATED:20230119T224639Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230123T230450Z UID:131721-1681468200-1681660800@www.contemplativeoutreach.org SUMMARY:Presenter Formation for Centering Prayer DESCRIPTION:Presenter Formation to become a commissioned presenter of Centering Prayer is being offered at Mercy Centers beautiful Auburn California retreat center April 14 – 16th and is led by Susan Turpin. \nPlease contact Chuck Schaller if interested:  chuckschaller2@gmail.com or phone 916-390-3465 URL:https://www.contemplativeoutreach.org/event/presenter-formation-for-centering-prayer/ LOCATION:Mercy Center Auburn\, 535 Sacramento Street\, Auburn\, CA\, 95603\, United States CATEGORIES:Training ORGANIZER;CN="COSSA - Sacramento &%3B Surrounding Areas":MAILTO:chuckschaller2@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230415T090000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230415T120000 DTSTAMP:20230228T224809Z CREATED:20230228T224809Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230228T224809Z UID:133416-1681549200-1681560000@www.contemplativeoutreach.org SUMMARY:How Contemplation Can Heal a Violent World: Going Deeper - via Zoom DESCRIPTION:Our April Half-Day Retreat will feature three recorded excerpts from the Rt. Rev. Eugene Taylor Sutton’s presentation on contemplation and nonviolence given during COMW’s 25th Anniversary Retreat in September 2022. \nThe excerpts will focus on the different faces of violence\, the spirituality of nonviolence and nonviolence in action. Before each video\, we will prepare ourselves to listen deeply by sitting together in Centering Prayer. We will listen to each video as though engaging in Lectio Divina\, noting any word or phrase that especially resonates as God speaking to us personally. After each video\, we will be invited to share the word or phrase that resonated with us as the Spirit’s call to non-violent action in our personal and communal lives. We will conclude our retreat with a final prayer and blessing.

How do we live from a place of spiritual freedom in an era of upheaval and fear? In this workshop\, we will seek to cultivate awareness of fear as it relates to the Primitive\, Rational\, and Spiritual levels of mind. Much of the day will be spent practicing exercises to strengthen the nervous system\, enhance interior awareness\, and build our ability to remain spiritually present in the face of fear. \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. \nMark Kutolowski is an Oblate of Saint Benedict\, a contemplative retreat leader\, Centering Prayer teacher\, wilderness guide\, and instructor in the Slavic martial art and health practice\, Systema. He has spent the past 20 years exploring the integration of Christian contemplation with physical transformation and our relationship with the natural world. Mark and his wife Lisa live a lay contemplative life and offer hospitality at their homestead\, Metanoia of Vermont (http://www.metanoiavt.com).
