SUMMARY:Introduction to Centering Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to Centering Prayer\nFostering Intimacy with God through Silence & Stillness \nPresenter: Sr Ruth Ann Madera \nSourced from the depths of Christian contemplative tradition\, Centering Prayer has emerged as a life-changing prayer practice for those who embrace it. Centering Prayer is a receptive method of Christian silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer; prayer in which we experience God’s presence within us\, closer than breathing\, closer than thinking\, closer than consciousness itself. Its purpose is to foster a deeper intimacy with Christ through the silence and stillness of contemplative prayer. \nJoin us to learn the method or to renew your practice of this ancient form of silent prayer. \nPlease register using the link below.

SUMMARY:Rev. Dr. Barbara Holmes – Crisis Contemplation:  Healing the Wounds of the Village - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:In Crisis Contemplation\, the Rev. Dr. Barbara Holmes will address two entry points into contemplation which have seldom been addressed: contemplation during crisis\, and how we contemplate as community. \nEngaging deeply with both history and current events\, Holmes will address the emergence of crisis contemplation\, especially through the lenses of BIPOC peoples. Dr Barbara will be exploring existing communal contemplative experiences. As she looks into types of crises (pandemics\, earthquakes\, and systemic abuses)\, she examines the resulting traumatic wounds which manifest across generations. \nIn the second half of the presentation\, she will shift toward a village response to crises\, addressing communal formation\, belonging\, resistance\, and resilience. A deeper look at healing through memory and story\, culture and ritual\, will lead to a final chapter on envisioning different futures through liminality and bio-spiritual resurrection. \nThis event will include 20 minutes of Centering Prayer \nRecording note: This event will be recorded. All registrants will receive a copy of the Zoom recording within 2 weeks of the event. \nAbout Rev. Dr. Barbara A. Holmes \nDr. Holmes is a spiritual teacher and writer focused on African American spirituality\, mysticism\, cosmology and culture. She is President Emerita of United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities (2012-2016). She also served as Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of Memphis Theological Seminary (2005-2010). She holds the title of Professor Emerita of Ethics and African American Religious Studies at that seminary. Currently\, she is a core faculty member at the Center for Action and Contemplation founded by Fr. Richard Rohr. \nTime listed is Mountain Time (Denver\, Colorado) \nClick the website link below to register \nScholarships are available.
