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.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Centering Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Are you looking for a way to explore or deepen your relationship with God? \nIn our introductory workshop to Centering Prayer\, you will discover a centuries-old prayer method. Centering Prayer consists of simply sitting in silence with God—beyond thoughts\, words\, and emotions—and opening our mind\, heart and whole being to the Ultimate Mystery. \nIn this workshop\, you will learn the basics of Centering Prayer\, experience it in a guided setting\, and be able to ask questions and share experiences with the presenter and your fellow initiates. \nCentering Prayer is based on a Christian contemplative practice first described in The Cloud of Unknowing\, written in the latter half of the 14th Century. It calls one to abandon any consideration of God’s attributes and actions\, and to surrender to The Creator’s influence in our lives. \n It is a very personal prayer practice but is also practiced in groups. It opens one to God’s infinite love and power to heal\, and opens the door to other related prayer practices around forgiveness\, and dealing with painful situations and emotions. \nTime listed for the workshop are Mountain Time. \nClick on the link below to register.
