SUMMARY:Contemplative Living II: Daily Life as Prayer (Online)
DESCRIPTION:January – April 2026 \nFurther enrich your contemplative living and embrace the practice of living each day as a form of prayer. In Contemplative Living I (CL I\,) the focus was on deepening your interior prayer life\, leading to the awareness of God’s presence in all that is. The interior life cultivated in CL I brings you to greater humility and vulnerability and lowers your defenses. You might think of it as standing naked before the God of Love. \nIn 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 practice 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. \nCourse Objectives\nTo deepen established daily practice of Centering Prayer\nTo integrate contemplative awareness into everyday activities and interactions\nTo foster contemplative sensibilities and a listening heart in decision-making in daily situations\nTo create contemplative Rule of of Life that supports ongoing transformation\, making daily life as prayer \nPlease see the link below for more information and to register.
