SUMMARY:Centering Prayer: Weekend Immersion via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Deepening the Contemplative Dimension of Life \nContemplative Outreach Chicago is sponsoring this online 2021 Winter Weekend Retreat\, with Alan Krema as retreat guide. \nThis retreat will immerse us into three days of Centering Prayer with attentiveness to our activities between the meditation sessions.

This comes with responsibility to remove the obstacles we have in us arising from the addictive and reactive structures that restrict our growth. \nWe will meet for Centering Prayer sessions with small presentations in each session.

We assume that participants have a regular practice of Centering Prayer. \nThe schedule will include five sessions (US Central time): \nFriday Evening 7:00 – 8:30 pm\nSaturday Morning 9:00 – 11:00 am\nSaturday Afternoon 1:00 – 3:00 pm\nSaturday Evening 6:00 – 7:00 pm\nSunday Morning 9:00 am – 12:00 pm \nAlan Krema is a presenter of Centering Prayer and Welcoming Prayer for Contemplative Outreach.

SUMMARY:Transfiguration Centering Prayer Retreat via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 13th\, 6:30AM-5:00PM Central Time\, $90 \nOffered online via Zoom. \nCentering Prayer is a form of Christian silent mediation where one lets go of thoughts during periods of prayer typically lasting 20 minutes. It is rooted in the self-emptying love that forms the heart of Jesus’ teaching and life. The effect on those who practice it is an ever-increasing awareness of God’s action and presence in the course of ordinary life. \nThe Rev. Tom Ward is the retired university chaplain at the University of the South and now spends his days focusing on the contemplative dimension of the gospel\, teaching Centering Prayer\, and leading retreats. \nPlease register using the link below.

SUMMARY:Centering Prayer Pre-Lenten Morning: "I Will Lead Her Into the Desert" - Via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Therefore\, I will now allure her\, and bring her into the wilderness\, and speak tenderly to her. From there I will give her vineyards\, and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she shall respond as in the days of her youth\, as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.\n―Hosea 2:14 \nLent offers us one of those rare times to let go and make a space for God. Our common participation in this ritual can open us more deeply to the sacredness of the moment\, ourselves\, and our world. Our prayer morning is an opportunity to cease all activities and ponder our personal aim for this Lenten season. We will have two sessions of Centering Prayer\, Lectio Divina\, and time for community sharing. Please come join us for contemplative fellowship\, as we open ourselves together to be a chalice for God’s love. \nMarty Badgett has co-led extended Centering Prayer retreats for many years\, and hosted many one-day contemplative prayer days in Berkeley California and in Austin Texas. Marty is a commissioned Centering Prayer presenter\, and is the coordinator for the Northwest San Francisco Bay Area. \nPrayer Mornings are a new part of the ongoing Centering Prayer program at Mercy Center Burlingame\, in hopes of deepening our community relationships and our Centering Prayer practice. \nA $20 donation is suggested to support the program; however\, any donation you are able to contribute is gratefully accepted. Your presence is most important.\nPlease register at mercy-center.org using the link below. \nTimes for the morning retreat are Pacific Standard Time (PST).
