SUMMARY:COC Fall Conference -- in-person and online: ​The Science of Transformation: An Experiential Integration and Day of Hope-filled Practice
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid presentation being conducted both in person at The Center for Contemplative Living in Denver\, Colorado and online via Zoom videoconference. \nJonathan Steele is engaging\, charismatic\, brilliantly creative\, and wondrously present. As one of my senior Wisdom students\, he shares my own commitment to combining classic Christian contemplative teaching with contemporary reference points in mindfulness\, attention\, and embodied awareness. You are in for a treat! – Cynthia Bourgeault \nDescription of Talk: \nThese times call for a need to unify the seeds of contemplative practice–to return to our fundamental essence and realize our shared human purpose as conscious transmitters of faith\, hope and love. In the words of Bede Griffiths\, we can learn to “join the growing Christ.” \nJonathan’s presentation style includes teaching\, practice and unifying the power of gathered intention. His themes focus on the importance of surrender\, community\, service\, silence and the practice of learning to directly sense the inner body\, or inner-man as St. Paul refers to it. Learning to sense the inner body gives us a physiological rootedness where we can stand in a strong\, compassionate witnessing presence amid polarization. \nTogether we will engage prayer exercises that imprint both Jesus’ recollected presence and self-emptying nature more deeply into our being. Most spiritual traditions have tended to emphasize one or the other: enstatic practices (service through conscious presence) or ecstatic practices (service as self-giving) but not both. The integration of the two supports our collective awakening in becoming people who can change the events of our world from the inside-out without our attention getting hi-jacked by manufactured desire. \nWe offer this day of experiential integration and hope-filled practice on behalf of all beings throughout creation and to bring spiritual healing to our lives and\, by God’s grace\, to this precious planet. The day will include a session of Centering Prayer. \n“I do not know how it works\, but when a group of like-minded people committed to the transformative processes are together\, the force of the energy is certainly up a number of decibels higher. You do not have to do anything but be still and let your mind be quiet. Be still and you will know\, not by the knowledge of the mind\, but by the knowledge of the heart\, who God is and who you are.”\n-Thomas Keating \nAbout Jonathan Steele: \nJonathan L. Steele\, M.A.\, is a retreat leader\, spiritual teacher and companion on the spiritual journey. His work draws deeply upon the transmission of the Christian Wisdom lineage and the Christian contemplative and iInner-traditions. In addition to his lived integration through contemplative practice\, study and service\, he leans on the works of Thomas Keating\, Cynthia Bourgeault\, Valentin Tomberg\, G.I. Gurdjieff and J.G. Bennett. Jonathan currently serves as the Devotional Minister at The Church of Conscious Harmony\, a contemplative Christian community in Austin\, Texas. Jonathan also has significant experience working with recovery communities\, utilizing the path of the 12-Steps and implementing the work of Bowen family systems theory. \nHe has previously companioned others in the context of spiritual direction and hospice chaplaincy\, as well as guiding groups on pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago in Spain where he lived over the course of eight years. \nTimes listed are Mountain Time (Denver\, CO) \nClick the website link below to learn more and register.
