SUMMARY:10-Day Contemplative Listening Retreat (“Post Post”)
DESCRIPTION:This is a retreat for those who have attended multiple Intensive and post-intensive 8-10 day retreats and find themselves desiring yet longer sessions of Centering Prayer in community. We will begin our day at 6:00am with three 30- minute periods of Centering Prayer. Mid-morning and mid-afternoon there will be an additional session of three 30-minute periods of Centering Prayer. Once a day\, we will watch a brief (about five minute) segment of the film “From the Mind To the Heart”\, a conversation with Thomas Keating\, which he created for this retreat.. \nWe will let the silence deepen in this retreat. There will be no scheduled soul friending\, though staff will be available for a conversation if requested. There will be no reading at meals and no verbal prayer at the beginning of the Centering Prayer sessions. Lectio Divina and a contemplative Eucharist will be offered daily. \nPre-requisite: Two or more post-intensive Centering Prayer retreats given by Contemplative Outreach. This is a guideline\, not a rule. Please speak with us if you have questions. \nThe retreat will be facilitated by Contemplative Outreach staff\nThe Retreat begins Tuesday\, June 10 with registration from 2:00 to 4:00\, an opening session at 4:15pm\, and dinner at 5:15pm. We end on Thursday\, June 19 at 10:30am (lunch optional).\nFor more information\, contact Susan Turpin at 541-324-1207; slturpin@me.com. \nIf you are traveling by air\, the Contemplative Outreach staff can arrange transportation to and from the Sacramento airport to the Mercy Center.  Please book your arrival on the beginning day for 2:00pm or earlier and your departure on the ending day for 1:00pm or later.  Let us know your flight information.

SUMMARY:Online Wisdom Retreat: Revisiting the Welcoming Prayer
DESCRIPTION:The Welcome Practice\, also known as the Welcoming Prayer\, is a powerful means for cultivating presence\, releasing attachments\, and deepening our connection to the Divine Indwelling or Great I Am. This practice strengthens us in our Greater I Am Self\, allowing us to be anchored beyond the emotional\, intellectual\, and physical turmoil that we experience as humans living in the dense and challenging conditions of this world\, helping us to disidentify with habitual patterns\, plug energy leaks\, and become free from that which ensnares\, clouds\, and divides the Heart. In the Wisdom tradition—as Cynthia Bourgeault\, Robert Sardello\, and others have pointed out—the Heart is considered not only the physical and psychic organ but also the organ of spiritual perceptivity. It is the center from which we can navigate the intertidal territory of this earthly realm and the imaginal realm\, also known as the Kingdom of God co-arising within the Ray of Creation. \nThe Welcome Practice is a way to consciously loosen our emotional programs for happiness—the ways in which our egoic operating system (or small self) seeks power\, control\, affection\, esteem\, safety\, and security to feel at ease. While these desires are natural for this level of selfhood\, they can also keep us trapped in false security\, clinging\, and hoarding\, preventing us from living out of our Whole Self. \nWe will explore the Welcome Practice in the context of understanding the human nervous system\, exploring ways to deepen our understanding of when and how best to engage this practice in our lives. We will engage the practice individually and work with it collectively on behalf of the greater Body of Humanity. \nThis Wisdom Retreat will take place on Saturday\, June 14th\, 2025 from 9:30am to 12:30pm Pacific Time. It will be recorded and made available for later participation and viewing. \nOffered by Heather Ruce. \nPlease see the link below to register.
