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:Centering Prayer Summit via Zoom: "Learning to See in the Dark"
DESCRIPTION:Learning to See in the Dark\nA 2-day Journey of Opening to Mystical Hope in a Collective Dark Night \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat if the darkness we face—alone and together—helps us uncover the hope already within us? \nIn a time when uncertainty\, division\, and collective weariness touch nearly every soul\, many of us find ourselves navigating both personal shadows and a world that feels increasingly dim. Yet the contemplative path reminds us that even in the darkest places\, something tender and resilient is already at work within us. \nThis year’s 5th Annual Centering Prayer Summit offers a sacred space to meet this moment with honesty and openness. Together we will explore how the dark night—both personal & collective—can become a place of awakening rather than despair\, a place where the deeper Light that has never stopped shining\, begins to make itself known. \nThrough shared stillness\, in-depth teaching\, and real-time interaction\, you’ll experience how Centering Prayer opens us to the quiet hope already alive within: a hope not dependent on circumstances\, but rooted in the Presence that holds us all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information\, schedule and to register\, please see the link below.

SUMMARY:God in the Cosmos: How Hildegard of Bingen and Teilhard de Chardin Invite Us into the Sacred
DESCRIPTION:In order to expand our vision of God\, we explore the lives and spirituality of two extraordinary mystical scientists\, Hildegard of Bingen and Teilhard de Chardin. These mystics radically lived their experience of Divine Presence in and through creation. Born centuries apart\, they were mystics with a cosmic vision as well as scientists who seamlessly wove together their faith with the science of their time\, creating powerful visions of the universe. This day includes “Eco-Divina”\, a practice contemplating the deep interconnection of all being. \nThis event also includes sessions of Centering Prayer. \nPlease see the link below for more information and to register.
