SUMMARY:Contemplative Living II: Daily Life as Prayer – via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Your life is hidden with Christ in God.\n– Colossians 3:3 \nFurther enrich your contemplative life and embrace the practice of living each day as a form of prayer. In Contemplative Living I (CL I) the focus is on deepening your interior prayer life\, leading to the awareness of God’s presence in all that is. In Contemplative Living II (CL II) the focus shifts towards increased intentionality in how you are living your daily life. You likely have a better understanding of what blocks you in deepening your relationship with God\, others\, and even with yourself. You are now more capable of looking at your part in relationships and what gets in the way of being and becoming the person God created you to be. Building on the contemplative practices learned in CL I\, in CL II you will assess where you are in your life and how you can make choices aligning with your authentic self. \nThe design of Contemplative Living II: Daily Life as Prayer: \nGaining contemplative attitudes and dispositions through \n\nContemplative Listening – a practice of active listening in group spiritual direction\, raising your awareness of the movements of the Divine within you and others.\nContemplative Discernment – a method of going to God with your questions and desires\, allowing the answers to find you\nContemplative Awareness related to Addictions\, Attachments and Aversion – using contemplative discernment to surface habit patterns that have become compulsions that you no longer freely choose\nThe Forgiveness Prayer – a prayer that guides you to follow Jesus’s example to live with hearts open to love\nContemplative Service – a vocation\, a calling\, or a way of life that’s rooted in living a contemplative life\nCommitment to a Contemplative Rule of Life – looking at the rhythm of life you’ve created in this course\, what practices have worked for you and that you will continue to commit to in the ordinary activities of your life\nContemplative Living Communities – the support we receive from community enhances our spiritual journey and is helpful to continue in some way at the end of the course\n\nPlease see the link below for more information and to register.

SUMMARY:Writing Into the New Year: A Contemplative Writing Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Stories give shape to the human experience\nand touch us in our innermost places.\nThey pick us up right where we are and\nleave us somewhere else – changed\, transformed\,\nmore awake\, alive and aware.\n– Sara Mackenzie\, author \nLife provides us with countless stories — of love\, loss\, grief\, and courage; stories of unexpected life changes\, family relationships\, spiritual journeys\, small miracles\, and experiences in nature. Writing our stories demands attentiveness\, honesty\, courage\, and a commitment to engage with a creative process that pulls us into the unknown where we are often surprised at what surfaces. It’s a journey of discovery. \nThis retreat will blend periods of Centering Prayer\, personal writing time\, talks\, and creativity exercises. There will be time to read\, walk the grounds\, or gaze out at the waters of Long Island Sound. Come to work on a current project\, begin stories long thought about\, or immerse yourself in silence in order to discover what needs to be voiced. Come to be still and know … \nPlease see the link below to register.
