SUMMARY:The Seven Mansion of the Interior Castle:  Teresa of Avila – via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The Seven Mansions of the Interior Castle — Teresa of Avila\n                                Presented by Susan Komis\n                 Virtual Centering Prayer Retreat via Zoom \nCo-sponsored by Contemplative Outreach of New Orleans\n                  and the School for Contemplative Living \nJoin us in exploring the Seven Mansions of Teresa of Avila’s Interior Castle.\nTeresa is one of Christianity’s great mystics and teachers.  The Seven Mansions of the Interior Castle is her final work\nand one of the most profound literary works on contemplation and experiential mysticism.  Teresa wrote The Interior\nCastle to describe seven mansions of the inner life with God.  Prayer stood at the center of Teresa’s teaching. Her fidelity\nto prayer was a means of deepening her intimate relationship with God.  She considered a life of prayer in terms of love. \nTogether we will reflect on the light of Teresa’s timeless insights into the human soul\, its journey towards intimate\nrelationship with God\, and how Teresa’s teaching is relevant to our personal contemporary spiritual journey today. \nThere will be Centering Prayer sessions\, the presentations\, Q & A opportunities\, and small group gatherings via\nbreakout rooms.

SUMMARY:“God is Love\,  the Heart of All Creation” Part 2 - via zoom
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Keating with Carl J. Arico\nVideo and Discussion hosted by Kathleen Blank Riether \nThe video series God is Love\, The Heart of All Creation was filmed in Snowmass\, CO\, in 2013. Carl Arico interviewed Thomas Keating about a variety of topics from cosmology\, divine/human evolution\, and unity consciousness\, to silence and centering prayer. Thomas Keating considered this video series as Part 8 in his foundational Spiritual Journey series. \nIn Part 2 of our two part series based on God Is Love\, The Heart of All Creation\, we will begin with Thomas Keating reflecting on the silence in Centering Prayer as the first step in what Christian theology understands as the path of contemplation taking us into divine union. Centering Prayer reduces the obstacles to our awareness of God’s presence and communications to us. Through the regular practice of Centering Prayer\, an attentiveness emerges to the presence of God in all reality and in all the experiences of our daily lives. It releases the positive energies of grace within us that are inaccessible to our conscious minds. As we become increasingly aware of God’s inspirations\, we consciously experience and consent to our creaturehood – our nothingness. In time\, we even embrace our own nothingness\, as we turn our lives over completely to God\, confident in God’s total presence and support. \nPlease register using the link below.

SUMMARY:Discernment: Deep Listening and the Presence of God - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Discernment is more than exploring what I want or what others want of me\, rather what does God want of me? Contemplative discernment sorts\, questions\, senses\, intuits movements of grace with a disposition of complete confidence and surrender to God – a dialogue of deep wills\, borne of love and choice — so that we are animated in fullness of being and action by the Holy Spirit. We learn to step forth in courage\, to take risks in our choices that may lift us from our routines and open to us the door of a new being\, a new reality. \nSince the day you were born\nI have carried you along.\nI will still be the same\nwhen you are old and gray\nand I will take care of you.\nI created you. I will carry you\nand always keep you safe.\n– Isaiah 46:3-4 \nIncludes: \nIntroduction and opening time of prayerful centering\nTwo sessions with sharing and Q&A\nA break\nA time of Centering Prayer \nPlease register using the link below. \nPresenter: \nMary Anne Best is a member and trustee of The Church of Conscious harmony\, a contemplative Christian community in Austin\, Texas\, where she also serves as Abbess of The Journey School\, a school of transformative spiritual psychology and practice. Previously\, for many years\, she served as development director for Contemplative Outreach\, Ltd and worked with Thomas Keating in the last 10 years of his life to edit and produce new books and videos on the spiritual life. She is a mother and grandmother to two beloved grandchildren.
