SUMMARY:I AM That I AM: The Invitation at the Center of Contemplative Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative prayer draws us to the center of our being where Silence opens us to God’s dynamic\, spacious\, ever-evolving reality — the God Who is\, not the God we expect. In this silent retreat\, through periods of Centering Prayer; contemplative practices; simple body exercises; contemplative conversation; and quiet time for reflection\, reading\, and walking the grounds\, we will heed the call to meet the God of unsettling mystery and grace\, sometimes unfamiliar and unpredictable\, sometimes wonderfully surprising and bountiful. \nThis silent retreat\, intended for those with a Centering Prayer or other contemplative prayer practice\, will draw on the writings of Thomas Keating\, Ilia Delio\, Teilhard de Chardin\, Meister Eckhart\, and others. It will offer the opportunity to explore your experiences with the Sacred and reflect on how and whether your image and relationship with the divine have changed over the years. Where is God calling to you? How are you responding? \nPlease see the link below to register.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Centering Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Sourced from the depths of Christian contemplative tradition\, Centering Prayer has emerged as a life-changing prayer practice for those who embrace it. Centering Prayer is a receptive method of Christian silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer; prayer in which we experience God’s presence within us\, closer than breathing\, closer than thinking\, closer than consciousness itself. Its purpose is to foster a deeper intimacy with Christ through the silence and stillness of contemplative prayer.\nJoin us to learn the method or to renew your practice of this ancient form of silent prayer. \nPlease see the link below to register.
