SUMMARY:Half-Day Online Retreat Series: "Invitation from God"
DESCRIPTION:Centering Prayer: Revisiting the Fundamentals\nHalf-day retreats to deepen awareness of God’s transforming presence in our lives. \n“Invitation from God”\nAn interview with Thomas Keating—the third in this COMW retreat series\nSaturday\, April 17\, 2021\, 9 a.m. Eastern Time to noon (via Zoom) \nIn our third half-day retreat in this series presented by Contemplative Outreach of Maryland and Washington (COMW)\, we will hear Thomas Keating describe the spiritual journey as a process of transformation in which we move through the levels of our consciousness\, releasing old traumas and spiraling towards the presence of the Divine in our inner selves. \nIn Centering Prayer\, we consent to and are sustained through the dark nights\, the losses and the letting go of purification\, through which we are gradually transformed. The gifts and fruits of the Spirit begin to rise up within us\, manifesting in our way of being in the world. Through our consent to this pattern of dying and rising in the spiritual journey\, we live out the pattern of Christ’s own death and Resurrection\, i.e.\, the Paschal Mystery. As we are transformed\, the Divine presence in us manifests as peace\, joy\, gratitude and freedom. \nThe invitation to embark on the spiritual journey is universal. In the final video of our series\, Thomas explains the Parable of the Great Banquet as a representation of God’s gracious\, open invitation to everyone in the human family to embark upon the spiritual journey of transformation in Christ. \n*This Retreat will be held virtually on Zoom\nPRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJwsf-2prjsrHt0cBR6QzQwINOGvQ2H2dyPx\nLEARN MORE: tinyurl.com/COMWApril17Retreat

SUMMARY:Centering Prayer from the Ground of the Heart
DESCRIPTION:Looking afresh at Centering Prayer beginning from utter surrender\, we will practice the cues of: be surrender\, letting thoughts be as they are\, and letting go of thoughts we have collapsed upon. We will practice noticing especially the interplay of surrender and spaciousness of heart\, and the gentlest of return/re-recognition of surrender during regular sits\, “micro-sits”\, and while we work with these teachings. \nPresented by: Fr. Justin Lanier\, a contemplative missioner priest of the Diocese of Vermont (Episcopal). Formation includes monastic training in St. Benedict’s Monastery\, Snowmass\, under Fr. Thomas Keating & Dom. Joseph Boyle\, and Tofuku-sodo\, Kyoto\, Japan\, under Keido Fukushima Roshi. Fr. Justin leads intensive contemplative immersion trainings\, workshops in Centering Prayer\, as well as classes in contemplative practice & theology.

SUMMARY:Living the Beatitudes: Discovering the Mystical Truth of Jesus’ Words
DESCRIPTION:Living the Beatitudes: Discovering the Mystical Truth of Jesus’ Words\nHybrid retreat: On site* at Mercy Center and Online \nMay 27-31\, 2021\nBegins Thursday at 4:00 p.m. and concludes Monday at 12 p.m. (Pacific Time)\n$400 *on-site\, $400 online (Learning grant funds available on request.) \n“Consider that the [Aramaic] word Jesus uses\, which we have traditionally translated as ‘kingdom\,’ is related to the word for the ‘Great Mother’ in the Middle East; the word we translate as ‘daily bread’ means nourishment of all kinds and derives from the roots for the divine feminine and for Holy Wisdom or Sophia.” — Matthew Fox \nEmergence from this very difficult year of pandemic can be seen with the eyes of the heart as a great birthing of a new world. How do we align ourselves with this vision\, join in this “one great act of giving birth?” What could be better guidance than the Beatitudes\, Jesus’ instructions for realizing the Kingdom of Heaven right here on earth. And when we revisit his teachings with the help of Neil Douglas-Klotz’s translations from Aramaic\, Jesus’ own language\, we are brought home to a transformed relationship with the cosmos. \nJoin us as we give ourselves―body\, mind and emotion―to this labor of love. \nHow will the hybrid retreat work?\nYou are invited to join us from your own home OR AT MERCY CENTER in Burlingame as we practice integrating prayer with our life\, in our circumstances as they are. Teaching sessions will include experiential\, participatory\, and embodied exercises to draw us more deeply into the healing\, contemplative space. Breaks will be provided for further integration.\nProgram Features\n• Live Online Centering Prayer Sessions – Join via Zoom (at Mercy Center or at home) at scheduled times or practice on your own.\n• Live Online Teaching Sessions – Join us live via Zoom (at Mercy Center or at home) or view recordings at a later time.\n• Live Online or in-person Small Groups – for experiential processing (not recorded).\nThere will be teachings on the Beatitudes by Catherine\, Heather and Joy. \nYou can participate in one of three ways:\n1) From home online. The retreat is designed so that you can choose as much or as little of it as fits in your life\, on any given day.\n2) In person* at Mercy Center\, participating online from your laptop in your own room and enjoying the beauty and peace of the grounds.\n3) In person* at Mercy Center attending in a spacious room together with masks and social distancing. Bring your laptop\, reusable beverage container\, a yoga mat (optional). We’ll meditate in that same room\, so you can bring your meditation cushion if you like.\nMeals will be served in eco-friendly containers and can be eaten in the conference room\, in your room\, or outside on the patio. \nEverything will be on Zoom so we’ll all be sharing the retreat no matter where we are. Be met\, trusting that God’s love surrounds all of it\, all of us\, exactly as we are. \n*On-site participants must be fully vaccinated for COVID 19 and follow our onsite COVID protocol. \nOptional reading: We will be presenting some material from the book “Prayers of the Cosmos: Meditations on the Aramaic Words of Jesus” by Neil Douglas-Klotz. You are welcome to purchase it ahead of time if you like\, but it will not be necessary – we will provide supportive handouts for the retreat. \nCatherine Regan\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director\, retired psychologist\, and adjunct staff member at Mercy Center\, primarily serving on the Centering Prayer team. She has a special interest in participating in the reclamation of the Christian Wisdom tradition and fostering the contemplative practices so urgently needed at this time in our world. \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\, and Centering Prayer coordinator at Mercy Center. Joy is dedicated to fostering contemplative practices such as Centering Prayer and others within the Christian Wisdom tradition that help us become aware of God’s ever-present love. As a scientist (and dancer\, writer\, and hiker) she sees in the physical world an expression of that love. \nPlease register at www.mercy-center.org or telephone 650-340-7474\nRegistration closes May 26\, 2021

SUMMARY:Opening to Our Pre-Existing Union with God
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Keith Kristich \nSo many of us grow up with the message that God is the great\, old Guy-in-the-Sky. This God loves the world\, but is ultimately separate from it and separate from us. But the great contemplatives say otherwise\, that God is the Heart of our hearts and the very Center of our souls. From the contemplative perspective\, the spiritual journey isn’t one in which we get closer to God\, but rather about waking up to the reality that we are already one! Join this weekend retreat as we explore Centering Prayer as a path of waking up to our pre-existing oneness with God. We are not ultimately separate from God\, and we’ll explore the significance of opening to this reality through teaching\, reflection\, and Centering Prayer practice. \nPlease register using the link below.

SUMMARY:Spiritual and Physical Evolution: In Contemplative Hindsight of 2020
DESCRIPTION:Looking back on the Covid-19 evolution of 2020\, we will reflect on our own evolving and devolving during the pandemic. We must encounter the unwanted to be able to recognize the wanted in times of change. How have we changed physically? How have we grown spiritually? What brought out the best in us? What brought out the worst in us? \nEvolution is happening physically due to the pandemic. Our brains changed with each new experience. Did you have anything to say about which way your brain went? Our world changed daily in wonderful and horrifying ways. Our behavior changed daily as we woke up to the meaning of pandemic. What dark night did you encounter and where did it take you spiritually? \nPresented by: Charlotte A. Tomaino\, Ph.D. is a Clinical Neuropsychologist whose career has been dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of brain function. She is retired from clinical practice but has learned about the power of belief to access neuroplasticity to adapt brain function from the clients she treated for several decades. Her book\, Awakening the Brain: the Neuropsychology of Grace gently weaves together the power of spirituality to alter perception of life events and access the path of recovery from trauma or growth in times of change. She is formerly a Maryknoll Sister.

SUMMARY:Presence\, Prayer and Writing from the Heart One-Day Retreat
DESCRIPTION:All of us have myriad stories to tell. Some focus on your family history\, spiritual journey\, experiences in Nature or a life-changing situation. These stories can take many forms but the most compelling are the ones written from the heart\, those that touch and move us and sometimes transform both the writer and reader. Writing from the heart demands attentiveness\, honesty\, courage\, and a commitment to engage with a creative process that pulls us into the unknown where we are often surprised at what surfaces. It’s a journey of discovery. What can help are presence and prayer. We’ll explore the link between both and the writing process\, ever mindful that we are never closer to the Creator than when we are creating. \nThis writing retreat is structured for those currently working on a project\, wanting to start one or simply wanting to spend time playing with words. In addition to a Centering Prayer/meditation session — Silence can be a portal to the Source of creativity and truth-telling — there will be time to write\, walk\, think or just be. \nThe fee includes lunch.

SUMMARY:The Enneagram and Contemplative Living via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:THE ENNEAGRAM AND CONTEMPLATIVE LIVING\nA Virtual Retreat from Contemplative Outreach of New Mexico\nJune 19\, 2021\n9:30-3:30 Mountain Time \nThe Enneagram offers a profound body of wisdom for psychological and spiritual healing. Based on the triadic nature of reality\, it is intended to help us awaken to our truer nature. Understanding the Enneagram to be far more than a ‘typing’ system\, we can discover often unconscious personality patterns that take us in the opposite direction of our soul’s yearning for unity. Rather than seeing the Enneagram personality ‘type’ as who we are\, we learn who we are not.\nIn this day retreat\, after a brief overview of Enneagram fundamentals\, we will primarily focus on the Three Centers of Intelligence (belly\, heart and head centers) inherent in the Enneagram symbol and important in personal inquiry. These are closely aligned with Fr. Thomas Keating’s three emotional centers of the false self. \nThe retreat will also include two periods of Centering Prayer\, a lunch break and break during morning and afternoon sessions\, short times of personal reflection and interpersonal inquiry. Having access to your zoom screen will be helpful as a few slides are shared. \nRegister via the link below or via the email address listed. \nFacilitator: Roxanne Howe-Murphy\, EdD Founder of the Deep Living Institute and author of “Deep Living with the Enneagram; Recovering your True Nature”

SUMMARY:Present to Presence: A Silent Centering Prayer Retreat
DESCRIPTION:August 15 – 18\, 2021 \nThomas Keating once posed the question: Why go on retreat? His response was “to experience the deepest silence” and “just … [to] be\, opening uninterruptedly to God’s presence and to the enormous energy of love that creates and sustains us and the universe…” \nEven in our covid world\, it’s important to step away from daily life and turn our focus inward. During this retreat\, silence will begin after Sunday night’s gathering and end after breakfast on Tuesday. In between\, there will be periods of Centering Prayer\, lectio divina and eco divina (listening to God in Nature)\, morning and evening prayer as well as personal time to walk\, read\, journal or simply gaze at the waters of Long Island Sound in a beautiful summer setting. Single rooms with private baths will be ready at 4 p.m. on Sunday. The program will begin after dinner. All meals from Sunday dinner through Wednesday breakfast are covered by the fee. Call the Center or visit the website to register (see below). \nCome listen to the still small voice. Let the deep silence enfold you\, embrace you.

SUMMARY:Presence\, Prayer and Writing from the Heart Retreat
DESCRIPTION:August 19 – 21\, 2021 \nAll of us have myriad stories to tell. Some involve your family history\, spiritual journey\, experiences in Nature or a life-changing situation. Stories can also take many forms — memoir\, essay\, poem\, blog posts\, or journal entries — but the most compelling are the ones written from the heart\, those that touch and move us and sometimes even transform both the writer and reader. Writing from the heart demands attentiveness\, honesty\, courage and a commitment to engage with a creative process that pulls us into the unknown where we are often surprised at what surfaces. It’s a journey of discovery. And what can help are presence and prayer. \nThis writing retreat is structured for those currently working on a project\, those who want to start one\, or simply desire to spend time in beautiful surroundings playing with words. In addition to Centering Prayer sessions — Silence can be a portal to the Source of creativity and truth-telling — there will be ample opportunities to write\, walk\, think and just be. \nPlease see the link below for more information and to register.

SUMMARY:Wisdom School: The Imaginal Realm
DESCRIPTION:“The imaginal is a meeting ground\, a kind of cosmic intertidal zone … In this realm\, the fruits of our human strivings — both conscious and unconscious — are offered up to the whole. From this realm\, in turn\, we receive blessing\, inspiration\, guidance\, and vivifying force\, which are ours to share and bestow here below.” \n―Cynthia Bourgeault \n+ \nThe Mercy Center Centering Prayer Program presents:\nWisdom School: The Imaginal Realm \nYou are invited to join us at Mercy Center in Burlingame. Rest\, reflect\, and explore the imaginal realm during this special summertime retreat experience. \nThis ‘Wisdom School’ will use Cynthia Bourgeault’s e-course video teachings to explore the Imaginal Realm so that we might learn to open ourselves to this world that surrounds and sustains us and to give back\, participating in this divine exchange as conscious planetary servants. \nThe teachings draw from her book Eye of the Heart: A Spiritual Journey into the Imaginal Realm in which she offers us a new cosmic map and perspective of how an attuned and open heart may approach the current challenges we face and receive the assistance necessary for navigation. \nThere will be an integration of Cynthia’s transmissions and an invitation to a ‘wisdom way of knowing’ through a daily rhythm of periods of video teaching from Cynthia\, Centering Prayer\, chanting\, mindful work\, mindful movement\, sharing\, and contemplative free time. \n*In addition to the registration fee\, this wisdom school requires extra material costs of $137. Please bring a check with you\, made out to Way of Wisdom Knowing. Included in this fee is access to the video teachings to review afterward. \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 and Centering Prayer coordinator at Mercy Center. Joy is dedicated to fostering contemplative practices such as Centering Prayer and others within the Christian Wisdom tradition that help us become aware of God’s ever-present love. As a scientist\, she sees in the physical world an expression of that love. \nCatherine Regan\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director\, retired psychologist\, and adjunct staff member at Mercy Center\, primarily serving on the Centering Prayer team. She has a special interest in participating in the reclamation of the Christian Wisdom tradition and fostering the contemplative practices so urgently needed at this time in our world. \nFuture Centering Prayer Dates at Mercy Center in Burlingame CA:\nFall Triduum Prayer Morning (Online): October 30\nCentering Prayer Wisdom Retreat : Dec 3-5\nCentering Prayer retreat: Feb 18-20\, 2022\nCentering Prayer Spring Triduum (Online): April 14-16\, 2022\nCentering Prayer retreat: May 22-29\, 2022 \nCONTACT \nFor further assistance\, contact us at (650) 340-7474. For more information visit: www.mercy-center.org\nThese are unprecedented times.

SUMMARY:Centering Prayer Introduction Zoom Retreat with Fr. Jos+
DESCRIPTION:Fr. Thomas Keating describes Centering Prayer as the keystone of a comprehensive commitment to the contemplative dimension of the Gospel\, manifesting as a deepening union with Christ\, and practical caring for others. This way of praying in silence opens our hearts and minds to consent to God’s presence and action beyond words\, responding to the call of the Holy Spirit. \nIn this small retreat\, you will be introduced to the concepts and methods of Centering Prayer. Presented by Fr. Jos\, who had been presenting this retreat for several years\, will capture your attention and keep you interested and make it enjoyable. Over 200 people have taken this retreat from Fr. Jos to date. You can ask questions just like in any other class even though we will be distanced from each other in person. The blessing of technology will help us become one group even though we will be sitting behind the screens in the comfort of our homes. Here below are topics that will be introduced and reflected in this retreat. \nIntroduction to Centering Prayer Practice\nPrayer As Relationship\nMethod of Centering Prayer\nThoughts And Use Of Sacred Word\nDeepening Our Relationship with God \nhttps://withribbon.com/s/191327\nPlease register using the link below.
