SUMMARY:Contemplative Living I: Contemplative Practices in Daily Life (Online)
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative Living I: Contemplative Practices in Daily Life (Online)\nSeptember – December 2025 \nI will give you a new heart\, and a new spirit I will put within you.\n– Ezekiel 36:26) \nCourse Description \n“Contemplative life begins when we first step into the silence of our heart. It’s a pilgrimage—a journey that takes us first to the inner reaches of who we really are\, and from there\, into the life we were meant to live.”\n– Julie Saad\, Contemplative Life: Discovering Our Path into the Heart of God \nThis four-month long online course is experiential\, guiding participants to deepen their experience of the abiding presence of God by cultivating their contemplative capacities. Participants will learn and integrate contemplative spiritual practices into daily life within a community of seekers through monthly meetings\, a weekly online prayer chapel\, personal practices\, and monthly Holy Listening Circles (group spiritual direction.) \nContemplative practices are the doorway into the gift of contemplative prayer\, where the journey that begins in the silence of our hearts leads us into the heart of God. As we cultivate contemplative practices in ordinary daily life\, we begin to experience oneness with God and all creation. \nCourse Objectives\nTo establish a daily practice of Centering Prayer\nTo integrate contemplative spiritual practices into daily life\nTo cultivate contemplative attitudes and disposition\nTo foster contemplative listening that comes from a listening heart\, rather than from the ego or mind \nPlease see the link below for more information and to register.

SUMMARY:The Enneagram - a Christian Wisdom Approach
DESCRIPTION:From a Wisdom perspective\, the overarching message of Jesus’ teaching is the transformation of our ordinary ego-driven consciousness. In the scriptures\, this is spoken of as stepping into the larger mind\, or putting on the mind of Christ. The Enneagram is a tool based on ancient wisdom that can help us to see the contours of ego — appreciating the strengths and limitations of personality as well as revealing the path for growth and transformation. Through a balance of\nteaching and practice\, this retreat will explore structures of personality that make up the nine different points of the Enneagram. With a greater understanding of how these structures work\, participants will be able to approach the Enneagram as a tool for the transformation of consciousness that Jesus calls us to — a tool that includes and goes beyond the descriptions of the nine types. \nThe program includes sessions of Centering Prayer. \nHenry Schoenfield is a member of the service team for Contemplative Outreach of Boston and a board member and senior student in Cynthia Bourgeault’s Wisdom network\, Wisdom Waypoints. He has studied the Enneagram of personality with Russ Hudson among other teachers and is certified in the Integrative\nEnneagram assessment tool (iEQ9). He is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ\, a spiritual director\, certified professional coach\, and retreat and workshop facilitator. \nTo register\, email: info@henryschoenfield.com
