SUMMARY:Present to Presence: A Centering Prayer Retreat
DESCRIPTION:God is always in and with us—closer to us than our own breath—but we are not always with God. Our harried\, over-scheduled\, noisy lives and patterns laid down in childhood prevent us from simply being with God. Centering Prayer is a way to re-member disparate parts of ourselves\, gather scattered energies\, and connect with the dynamic\, creative God that loves us more than we know. \nCentering Prayer is a way to immerse ourselves in silence and open to God’s presence within and all around us. By being present to Presence\, we open to a dynamic\, ever-creating God\, who heals\, transforms\, and loves us beyond measure. \nThis retreat\, intended for those who would like to explore Centering Prayer or re-ignite their practice\, will introduce the basics of Centering Prayer; offer opportunities to experience the prayer\, walking meditation\, and lectio divina; and explore ways to anchor a Centering Prayer practice in your life. There will also be time to walk the grounds\, read\, or rest. \nPlease see the link below for more information and to register.
