SUMMARY:Fr. Carl Arico | Dying to New Life: Journey through Aging - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Free\nSaturday\, Oct 8 | 9:00 AM – 12:15 PM Central Time | FREE ONLINE EVENT VIA ZOOM\nOffered by Contemplative Outreach of San Antonio\, Texas\, USA \nFor whoever wants to save his own life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.\n~ Matthew 16:25 \nI am telling you the truth a grain of wheat remains no more than a single grain unless it is dropped into the ground and dies. If it does die then it produces many grains. ~ John 12:24 \nLet us explore the practical implications of the wisdom contained in these two passages. What are the elements in our life and the practical rhythms that we can enter into each day to live out the implications found in these Scriptures? \nI remember an interviewer asking Fr Thomas Keating\, “you seem to be implying that our life is a life of diminishment. That’s not going to attract too many people.” There was a long pause and he answered as I remember it\, “well it’s not my idea” with a twinkle in his eye and a wonderful smile. \nLet us look at that through the lens of healing\, forgiveness but above all the celebration of life. \nFacilitator \nFr. Carl J. Arico is a retired priest of the Archdiocese of Newark\, New Jersey. He is a founding member of Contemplative Outreach\, an international organization dedicated to sharing the contemplative path through the practice of Centering Prayer.

SUMMARY:Fall Day of Prayer with Fr. Carl Arico - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:“Dying to New Life: Journey Through Aging” \nI am telling you the truth a grain of wheat remains no more than a single grain unless it is dropped into the ground and dies. If it does die then it produces many grains. ~ John 12:24 \nLet us explore the practical implications of the wisdom contained in these two passages. What are the elements in our life and the practical rhythms that we can enter into each day to live out the implications found in these Scriptures? \nFr. Carl: “I remember an interviewer asking Fr Thomas Keating\, ‘You seem to be implying that our life is a life of diminishment. That’s not going to attract too many people.’ There was a long pause and he answered as I remember it\, ‘Well it’s not my idea’ with a twinkle in his eye and a wonderful smile.” \nLet us look at that through the lens of healing\, forgiveness but above all the celebration of life.

SUMMARY:Father Vincent Pizzuto - Holy Transgression:  Discipleship and the Incarnation - a hybrid event
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid presentation being conducted both in person at The Center for Contemplative Living in Denver\, CO and Online via Zoom videoconference. Breakfast snacks and a light lunch will be provided for in-person participants. This event will include two sessions of Centering Prayer in additional to Father Pizzuto’s talk. \nFather Vincent Pizzuto will be joining us for a full-day event titled “Holy Transgression: Discipleship and the Incarnation.” In this presentation\, Father Pizzuto will be speaking to us about Jesus’ coming as a manifestation of a whole new world view: the Kingdom of God. \nThe gospel narratives are replete with the theme of transgression. Routinely\, Jesus drew his teachings and parables from the natural world\, familiar to those around him\, and used the most mundane images to shock his listeners into seeing the new world that was breaking upon them. In this new world—the kingdom of God\, as he called it—the very idea of holiness and what it meant to be holy was radically challenged and transformed. No longer was holiness to be identified with something “set apart\,” as the original Semitic root (qdš) implies. Rather\, the in-breaking of the kingdom was just that\, the realm of God breaking into the realm of humanity. This is why Jesus’ actions and teachings consistently emphasized the spirit of the law over the letter. He insisted that no religious observance was of greater importance than the practice of compassion and indiscriminate love for all. \nThus\, not only does Jesus transgress social and religious boundaries in his teaching and actions\, but so too as the “Incarnate One” does he transgress the very boundaries between heaven and earth. Throughout our Retreat\, Fr. Vincent will examine this theme of “transgression” in the gospels as a lens through which to understand and embody an authentic contemplative Christian discipleship in the modern world. We will gradually unfold contemplative discipleship as a call\, a vocation\, that begins as an encounter with Christ that is as communal as it is personal. It begins with the end of my world and the in-breaking of the kingdom. It begins with a death to myself\, and the rising of Christ within. And thus\, we will come to see that contemplative discipleship is thoroughly cruciform\, patterned on the paschal mystery of Christ’s dying and rising. It begins and ends in paradox. In order to live fully in Christ\, I must lose my life for the sake of the Gospel. \nAbout Father Vincent \nFather Vincent Pizzuto\, Ph.D. is Professor of New Testament Studies and Christian Mysticism in the Department of Theology and Religious Studies at the (Jesuit) University of San Francisco. He received his Ph.D. in New Testament Exegesis from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium (2003). He has since published and presented internationally in the areas of New Testament Christology\, ecological discipleship\, marriage equality\, inter-religious dialogue\, Christian mysticism and contemplative Christian spirituality. In 2018 he published his second book\, Contemplating Christ: The Gospels and the Interior Life\, with Liturgical Press\, to be released in Spanish\, Contemplar a Cristo: Los Evangelios y la vida interior\, in January 2022 by Desclée de Brouwer. As an Episcopal priest Fr. Vincent serves as Vicar of St. Columba’s Episcopal Church and Retreat House in Inverness\, California. Working for the advancement of contemplative Christianity\, he has reinvigorated the mission and ministry of St. Columba’s through the introduction of contemplative eucharistic liturgies\, public lectures\, online courses\, directed retreats\, thought provoking sermons\, an online blog and a weekly online study of his book through the Meditation Chapel. \nTime listed are Mountain Time \nRegister using the link below

SUMMARY:Praying With Jesus
DESCRIPTION:The prayer that is commonly known as The Lord’s Prayer is one that many memorized as young children. And even though we may recite it often\, there is more to this prayer than our English translations have to offer. \nWhen approached from its Aramaic roots\, the Prayer of Jesus reveals a vision and path of following in the way of Jesus that is both inspiring and imminently practical. \nDrawing upon the work of Neil Douglas-Klotz and using a balance of teaching\, chanting\, sacred movement\, guided meditation and Centering Prayer\, this time set apart will allow retreatants to enter into a deeper relationship — both with the Prayer of Jesus and following in the way of Jesus. \nWe are planning a spacious schedule so that you will have time to walk the beautiful Mercy grounds\, and to do other deeply relaxing practices that we’ll talk about. Bring a journal and pen if you like. There is a lovely craft room at Mercy Center but bring additional art supplies if you prefer. \nRetreat Leaders:\nHenry Schoenfield\, M.Div.\, PCC is a spiritual director\, professional certified coach and UCC pastor. He loves working with individuals as well as facilitating groups and retreats based in the contemplative Christian path. \nCarol Squire After 35 years creating and leading non-profit organizations in Africa and the Indian sub-continent\, Carol now devotes her passion and energy to sharing the 4th Way Work\, an ancient spiritual path periodically revived by Sufis and 4th Way Teachers\, in particular G.I. Gurdjieff. She works with the Gurdjieff Movements and Ideas\, somatic and emotional literacy\, sound and energy healing\, \nPlease register at www.mercy-center.org or telephone 650-340-7474\nThese are unprecedented times. If finances are an issue\, please email us at registration@mercywmw.org for a learning grant discount code. We want to make sure our offerings are available to everyone.

SUMMARY:Harvesting Grace: An Eco-Spirituality Contemplative Retreat
DESCRIPTION:“When (Jesus) asked his disciples to ‘look at the lilies of the field\,’\nI think he was asking them to read the book of nature as the book of God. …\nThe lilies do not simply reflect God; rather God is being God in the lilies.”\n– Ilia Delio\, Making All Things New \nThis contemplative retreat invites you to engage with the Sacred in nature and encounter God as the Creating and Sustaining Spirit of all. It will be a time to rest in body and “rest in the grace of the world.” Anchored in Centering Prayer (CP)\, the weekend will offer scheduled options including terra divina (sacred earth) exercises\, a labyrinth walk (weather permitting) and a communal prayer service on Saturday evening. However\, there will also be plenty of open time to explore the grounds\, read\, journal\, or simply enjoy the beauty of the land and waters of Long Island Sound. \nNo Centering Prayer experience is required. This weekend is for both beginners and long-time practitioners. \nClaire Rusowicz is a certified spiritual and retreat director and a spiritual director supervisor. She co-facilitates weekly online Centering Prayer groups. \nAnne Simpkinson has been practicing Centering Prayer since 1996. An Introductory CP workshop leader\, she has led retreats and Quiet Days in New York\, Massachusetts\, and Connecticut. While living in New York\, she served as co-coordinator of Contemplative Outreach for three years. She co-facilitates the weekly online Centering Prayer groups with Claire. \nSee the link below to register.

SUMMARY:Praying with Sacred Images - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:“Blessed are the pure in heart\, for they shall see God.”\n– Matthew 5:8 \nContemplative Outreach of Maryland and Washington invites you to join us Saturday\, Oct. 16 for half-day retreat (via Zoom) focusing on “Praying with Sacred Images” led by Rev. Carole Crumley. \nJesus tells his followers that there is a graced way of seeing that draws us toward God. Praying with holy icons\, an ancient-yet-ever-new spiritual practice\, is a vital way of training the contemplative eye for this graced way of seeing. It is a precious means of teaching\, prayer and opening to divine presence. Praying with sacred images is a way of schooling the spiritual eye\, inviting us deeper into the wholeness/oneness of God and sensitizing us to letting everything we see become a potential icon of God.\nOur time will include some sharing of our own experiences of praying with sacred images as well as time to be together in prayer with a holy icon. \nRev. Carole  Crumley is the retired senior program director of Shalem Institute and former canon educator and founder of the Center for Prayer and Pilgrimage at Washington National Cathedral. A sought-after retreat and conference leader\, Carole continues to teach and lead pilgrimages to sacred sites in Europe\, the Middle East\, and the U.S. Carole is a lover of storytelling\, moveable feasts\, and country music. \nPlease see the link below to register.

SUMMARY:Becoming Ordinary and the Practice of Centering Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Come to me\, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens\, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you\, and learn from me\, for I am gentle and humble in heart\, and you will find rest for your souls. (Mt. 11.28-30) \nWhen we step on the spiritual path we bring our motivations and intentions with us. Our intentions often include the desire to draw closer to God and to become a better person. We may struggle with something we want to overcome thus inspiring us to work on ourselves. Once we have adopted a spiritual practice and have been on the path for a while we discover that the motivations that brought us to the journey can become impediments to our spiritual and emotional growth. Seeing ourselves more clearly allows us to surrender to God’s extraordinary love while being ordinary people. We understand that we are not trying to get anywhere or to become better. We are simply learning how to be and to rest in God’s love each moment. \nNOVEMBER 11-13\, 2022 | BEGINS 9:00AM ON FRI & ENDS 12 NOON ON SUN*\nALL SAINTS’ EPISCOPAL CHURCH\, CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA\n$275 COMMUTER WITH MEALS/ RESIDENTIAL PRICES WILL FOLLOW** \nJoy Andrews Hayter\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director whose offerings include Centering Prayer and other contemplative practices of the Christian Wisdom tradition.

SUMMARY:From Stillness to Being: Introductory Weekend in Centering Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Get to know Centering Prayer\, a silent meditation form of letting go. Let the silence carry you and let the music move you in your vitality. \nCentering Prayer is an ancient\, simple and silent form of meditation. What makes it special is the welcome of the inexorable flow of thoughts and feelings. Centering prayer is not something we do; it’s something we stop doing; we do let go and return to our innermost being. Our conditioning lies like a veil over our inner being and allows us happiness and the meaning of our lives in things\, feelings\, relationships\, activities\, substances search – ultimately in vain. Through the recurring letting go in Centering Prayer over time some of our conditioning may dissolve. \nMusic-driven movement and our creativity are two other avenues to get through sheaths of our conditioning to come to our core. The weekend is nourished by these three roots: Centering Prayer\, Movement of vitality and creativity. \nWhen: Fri. 11 November dinner at 6pm – Sun 13 November approx. 2.30pm\nWhere: Wohlgemutsheim Castle\, Baumkirchen\, Tyrol\nCourse costs: € 170 in cash on site\, as well as accommodation and meals (see registration form)\nContact and information: mayr.georg@gmail.com \nGeorge Mayr: Authorized Presenter for Centering Prayer and member of Global teams from Contemplative Outreach; Coach for Power of live dance.\nMarianne Steinberg: graduate holistic art therapist and dance and gestalt therapist. \n\nflyer_GermanIntroWorkshop_11-13Nov2022-1\n\nDownload the flyer for this event here. \nRegistration form\nSurname\ne-mail\nPhone optional)\nRoom request\, full board\, price for the whole weekend.

SUMMARY:Retreat to Learn & Pray the Centering Prayer Way
DESCRIPTION:Will you join us in this one-day retreat cultivating a contemplative prayer life as we\nstudy\, practice\, and share “The Method of Centering Prayer – The Prayer of Consent”? \nGregory the Great summed up contemplative prayer at the end of the 6th century as the knowledge of God that is impregnated with love. He referred to contemplation as “resting in God.” In this “resting\,” the mind and heart are not so much seeking God\, as beginning to experience what they have been seeking. This state is not the suspension of all activity\, but the reduction of many acts and reflections to a single act or thought in order to sustain one’s consent to God’s presence and action. \nIf you are new to Centering Prayer\, do you seek to rest your mind and heart in the loving presence of God? How would it be to simply sit in silence enjoying each others company? \nIf you are familiar with Centering Prayer\, would you like to refresh your practice? \nFor more information and to register\, click on the “Event” website link below.

SUMMARY:Leaning Into Blessing: An Advent Online Retreat
DESCRIPTION:“The season of Advent means there is something on the horizon the likes of which we have never seen before … So stay. Sit. Linger. Tarry. Ponder. Wait. Behold. Wonder. There will be time enough for running. For rushing. For worrying. For pushing. For now\, stay. Wait. Something is on the horizon.” ―Jan L. Richardson \nAdvent is a season rich with anticipation as we prepare to honor the incarnation of the person of Jesus: he revealed to the world a life rooted in the heart\, at the intersection of time and timelessness. Alongside Mary\, pregnant with the Christ\, we enter the dark and soft stillness of winter; ripening with the blessing of generating the Christ in our own embodied lives. As we lean into the blessing\, cultivating our own deep “yes” parallel to Mary’s\, we have the opportunity to carry forth tending to the horizontal demands of the season from a profound fullness. Slowing and staying awake to the true meaning of this season\, we break the habitual excess of commercial consumerism\, instead offering the fruits of our awakened hearts. \nThis retreat will include the practices of silence\, Centering Prayer\, Lectio Divina\, Visio Divina\, Audio Divina\, reflective writing\, sacred chanting\, and body prayers. Join us as we lean into the blessing\, sitting and lingering in the quiet\, readying our hearts to enter Christmas with humility\, compassion\, and great love; that we may offer what is needed. \nOptional Reading: Night Visions\, by Jan Richardson. We will be incorporating some material from this book and you are welcome to purchase it if you like\, but it is not necessary. Just come and sink into the season with us! \nRetreat Leaders:\nHeather Ruce\, M.A. is a wisdom spiritual director with a background as a therapist and training in a neurophysiology based approach to trauma resolution. She loves working with individuals as well as facilitating groups and retreats focused on learning and practicing the Wisdom Tradition. \nJoy Andrews Hayter\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director whose offerings include Centering Prayer and other contemplative practices of the Christian Wisdom tradition. These practices encourage us to lean into the Love that is constantly being offered within a relational web of Sacred Unity. As a scientist she sees in the physical world an expression of that love. \nPlease register at www.mercy-center.org or telephone 650-340-7474 \nHow will the virtual retreat work?\nYou are invited to join us from your own home as we practice integrating prayer with our daily lives\, in our homes\, and in our circumstances as they are. Check out the schedule (subject to change) below to get a sense of what our retreat will be like together. We hope that you will choose as much or as little of it as fits in your life\, on any given day. Let the rest go.
