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. 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. Joy has been practicing contemplative practices for 31 years\, Centering Prayer for 18 years\, and has been leading Centering Prayer /wisdom school retreats\, workshops\, and days of prayer since 2008. She was coordinator of the Centering Prayer program at Mercy Center in Burlingame 2018-2022\, and continues there as adjunct staff. \nRev. Amber Sturgess is an Episcopal Priest\, spiritual director\, retreat leader\, and a seeker on the contemplative path. She enjoys teaching contemplative practices that deepen our spiritual awareness. Amber currently serves as Rector at All Saints’ Episcopal Church in Carmel. \nPlease register by emailing the registration form to Larissa Lavering at centeringprayer@allsaintscarmel.org or call 831-624-3883. \nRegistration closes October 27\, 2022 \n*The retreat will begin at 9:00am on Friday and end at 12noon on Sunday.

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. Be met\, exactly where you are\, trusting that God’s love surrounds all of it\, all of us\, exactly as we are. \nTimes in Pacific (California) time. \nFriday\, December 2nd\n4:00 Welcome & Introductions\n5:00 Silent Break\n5:15 Contemplative Reflection One\n6:00 Silent Dinner\n7:30 Centering Prayer & Practices\, followed by Great Silence \nSaturday\, December 3rd\n8:30 Centering Prayer & Practices\n9:30 Silent Break\n9:45 Contemplative Reflection Two\n10:30 Silent Break\n10:45 Contemplative Reflection Three\n11:30 Centering Prayer & Practices\n12:00 Silent Lunch followed by Silent Contemplative Free Time\n4:00 Centering Prayer & Practices\n5:00 Silent Break\n5:15 Contemplative Reflection Four\n6:00 Silent Dinner\n7:30 Centering Prayer & Practices\, followed by Great Silence \nSunday\, December 4th\n8:30 Centering Prayer & Practices\n9:30 Silent Break\n9:45 Contemplative Reflection Five\n10:30 Silent Break\n10:45 Closing Reflections & Circle

SUMMARY:Embodying Centering Prayer - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:In this retreat\, Ildiko Viczian\, an experienced Centering Prayer presenter\, will offer her decades-long integration of the practices of somatic awareness\, contemplative movement\, and Centering Prayer for the first time to the larger contemplative community. \nIldiko will begin with a brief practice of opening to and being present in body and consciousness to God. She will lead us to experience the support of the earth and alignment of the body with gravity\, which allows a letting go of muscular holding\, preparing for letting go of thoughts during prayer. She will guide us in becoming aware of our external and internal respiration and in this\, recognizing the presence of the Holy Spirit. She will then invite us to participate\, according to individual capacity\, in contemplative movement and prayer\, in body-mind-spirit\, expressing reverence for and praise to God. \nAbout Ildiko Viczian\nIldiko began her career in visual art and design. She then studied with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen\, founder of the School for Body-Mind Centering® and anatomy and kinesiology at New York University to become certified as a teacher of BMC® in 1992. She continued her studies with Dr. John Upledger\, founder of CranioSacral Therapy and SomatoEmotional Release\, Dr. Jean Pierre Barral\, founder of Visceral Manipulation\, and Elaine Summers\, founder of Kinetic Awareness. She has taught these educational and therapeutic modalities in the US and throughout Europe. \nIldiko comes from a lifetime of spiritual practices in various traditions. She started attending retreats with  Thomas Keating in 2002 and visited him often at St. Benedict’s Monastery in Snowmass\, Colorado\, USA. She became a commissioned presenter of Centering Prayer in 2005\, and joined the international team as liaison to France and Hungary.

SUMMARY:Centering Prayer: Lectio Divina and the Four Senses of Scripture
DESCRIPTION:This Praying Holy Scripture retreat offers Centering Prayer periods plus presentations based upon Fr. Thomas Keating’s teachings on the deepening levels of faith: the Four Senses of Scripture – literal\, allegorical\, behavioral/moral\, and unitive senses. The presentations teach a contemplative way of listening to and reading Scripture known as the ancient monastic practice of Lectio Divina. During the retreat\, one will experience the interplay of the silence of Centering Prayer and Praying Holy Scripture combined with the rhythm of this Episcopal Benedictine monastic community’s worship and prayer life including Holy Eucharist. This contemplative retreat welcomes those comfortable with silence and yearning to learn this ancient way of praying rather than studying Holy Scripture. \nTuesday Check-in is from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. Vespers begins at 5:00. Dinner then follows. Orientation begins at 6:45. The retreat concludes with noon meal Friday. Suggested donation for the retreat is $385. The retreat fee includes a single room and all meals. Shared single occupancy bathrooms in the hallways. The Guest House requires all guests to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19. \nRegister with our Guesthouse Manager\, Donna Mallory at 845-384-6660 ext 1 or at guesthouse@hcmnet.org.

SUMMARY:Eight-Day Centering Prayer Retreat
DESCRIPTION:This retreat is an opportunity for practitioners of Centering Prayer to deepen their contemplative journey in the contemporary world. It is a week-long experience of integrating contemplation and action through silence\, solitude\, and community. \nThe retreat offers two tracks. The intensive track is recommended for people who have completed the introductory workshop and who have a regular practice of Centering Prayer.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Centering Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Introduction to Centering Prayer retreat to deepen your personal relationship with God\, and to prepare to receive the gift of contemplation. Introduction to Centering Prayer will allow you to be still and know God through this method of Christian silent prayer. \nThis retreat consists of four conferences of contemplative practice\, study\, and support. \nSession one is a deeper look into prayer\, specifically Centering Prayer\, as a relationship with God.\nSession two provides initial instruction into the practice of Centering Prayer itself\, with the introduction to the choice and purpose of your personal sacred word.\nSession three provides a deeper level of understanding of the Centering Prayer Practice that includes both the sacred word and silence as prayer\, and insight into your various processes of thought. All of these combine to open you to giving consent to God’s presence and action.\nSession four provides a connection between the method and practice of Centering Prayer and being fully present in everyday life by removing the obstacles to the state of union with God.\nAdditional retreats are scheduled throughout the year to enable you to enhance your regular practice of Centering Prayer.
