SUMMARY:The Transformative Practice of Humility
DESCRIPTION:“When there is no more sense of an “I” (ego)\, the great I AM takes over our lives.”\n– Fr. Thomas Keating\, Reflections on the Unknowable \nWhat is humility? And how do we practice it? What role does humility play in Centering Prayer and transformation? \nWith Fr. Thomas Keatings’ Reflections on the Unknowable and Philippians 2 as our guides\, together we will explore the transformative practice of humility. \nThrough Centering Prayer\, Lectio Divina\, and faith-sharing\, we will reflect on humility as a practice. This workshop will challenge common misconceptions about humility and expand our awareness of humility as a pathway to transforming union with God. \nMeet Colleen Thomas \nA spiritual director and long-time practitioner of Centering Prayer\, Colleen Thomas delights in companioning others on their spiritual journey. Trained in the monastic arts of discernment\, spiritual companionship\, and retreat leadership\, she leads contemplative prayer groups\, workshops\, and retreats. She serves as the Diversity Outreach Coordinator for Contemplative Outreach and as a Program Director for Stillpoint: A Center for Christian Spirituality. Her particular passion is aimed at expanding contemplative practice and teaching younger and BIPOC communities. \nColleen earned her MA in Theology and Art from Fuller Theological Seminary. She worked in television in Los Angeles for 15 years before relocating to her hometown of Washington D.C.\, where she continues to explore her creative passions while enjoying the close companionship of her family. You can hear her in conversation about Centering Prayer and the contemplative life on the Opening Minds\, Opening Hearts podcast. \nPlease register using the link below.
