SUMMARY:Forgiveness Prayer Weekend Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Centering Prayer Retreat: Forgiveness Prayer  \nSt. Joseph Retreat Center  \n850 Hylan Blvd.\, Staten Island\, NY 10305 \nApril 24\, 2020 @ 4:00 pm – April 26\, 2020 @ 2:00 pm EDT \nFacilitated by Therese Saulnier  \nArrival Friday 4:00 PM; Departure Sunday 2:00 PM \nOvernight Retreatants: $250 Single Occupant; $200 Double Occupant \nThree Day Commuter: $150 per person (A non-refundable deposit of $50 is due one week prior to retreat.) \nTo register or inquire about the retreat contact St. Joseph Retreat Center: www.daughtersofdivinecharity.org – stjretreatcenter@gmail.com – 718.720.1097 or see the flyer below under "Additional information."\n	 \n	Therese Saulnier is a long-standing member of Contemplative Outreach.  She has been praying Centering Prayer for over 30 years and praying the Forgiveness Prayer for over 25 years. Therese shares her experience that before she learned the Forgiveness Prayer she really did not know how to forgive.  Therese will share the process of forgiveness and share a way to open to God’s healing presence and action in our search for forgiveness – the Forgiveness Prayer.    There will also be Centering Prayer periods during the retreat.  \n\n	What is the Forgiveness Prayer? \n	Come to the Forgiveness Prayer Workshop and explore the need for forgiveness and the nature of forgiveness. Come to learn the Forgiveness Prayer\, a way to open to God’s healing presence and action when you are hurt\, wounded or offended. The Forgiveness Prayer is a prayer in which we open to God’s grace to learn to forgive.  \n\n	When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray\, he taught them the Lord’s Prayer. In this prayer Jesus teaches us that forgiveness is one of the essential conditions out of which all of our prayer must proceed if it is to be acceptable to God. \n	The command is clear: if you are a Christian\, you must forgive. But there are two very powerful\, often problematic questions involved with this imperative: \n	How do I forgive? What if I want to forgive but cannot?  \n\n	Experience with Centering Prayer is suggested for participants.

SUMMARY:Centering Prayer Dual-Track Intensive Post-Intensive Retreat
DESCRIPTION:This 8-day silent workshop\, led by Rev. Brad Smith\, is an opportunity for practitioners of Centering Prayer to deepen their contemplative journey in the contemporary world. It is a week-long experience 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. The post-intensive track is for those people who have previously made an eight-day intensive retreat. The post-intensive offers increased silence and additional periods of Centering Prayer. Both the intensive and post-intensive Centering Prayer retreat provide daily experiences of silence\, solitude\, walking\, hiking\, yoga\, and spiritual companionship to foster an ever-deepening level of interior silence and awareness of the presence of God in everyday life. \nScholarship assistance is available for those with financial need.
