SUMMARY:Contemplative Attitudes
DESCRIPTION:This is an Intensive Centering Prayer Retreat based on the work of David Frenette in his seminal book\, The Path of Centering Prayer\, hailed by Fr.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Centering Prayer retreat weekend
DESCRIPTION:St. Benedict frequently unites silence and prayer in the work of seeking God. Centering Prayer is one of several prayer practices that flow out of Benedictine Life. Thomas Merton describes Centering Prayer as “a ‘return to the heart\,’ finding one’s deepest center\, awakening the profound depths of our being in the presence of God.” The goal is to be present to the Lord and aware of the divine action within you. \nThis introductory retreat will provide the background and fundamentals of Centering Prayer and teach how to develop a continuing practice. \nLeaders \nDonna Kreiensiecki is a Contemplative Outreach commissioned presenter. She has 20 years of experience offering Centering Prayer retreats and has practiced Centering Prayer for 30 years. Mary Bieter is a certified spiritual director trained at the Shalem Institute in Washington\, D.C. She was introduced to Centering Prayer twenty years ago and is a newly commissioned presenter with Contemplative Outreach. She has adopted a consistent daily practice of Centering Prayer in recent years and hopes she can help others discover the peace and clarity it can offer. \nPlease see the link below for more information and to register.
