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.

Here and there it is treasured even today. Mingled perhaps with some ambivalence.

We’ll also look at the different types and purposes of tears\, how the Gift manifests\, and key figures who’ve had the Gift of Tears. \nThe evening will begin with a 20-minute Centering Prayer sit\, followed by the presentation\, and time for Q&A and reflective discussion.  If you have not had previous exposure to Centering Prayer\, please let us know beforehand and we will arrange to give you a brief explanation of the method a few minutes before the event begins. \nPRESENTER: Debbie Harmon has practiced Centering Prayer for over 30 years.

It can be easily adapted to the Zoom format. Spiritual director Carol Fryer will describe her experience of leading group spiritual direction on Zoom with participants from Zoom Centering Prayer groups. She will present her format and group guidelines and answer questions about how to get started and how spiritual directors can collaborate with Centering Prayer facilitators to set up spiritual direction groups. Our hope is to provide a template that might be helpful for people who are considering doing group spiritual direction online\, encourage those who are experienced at group spiritual direction but are hesitant about using Zoom\, and provide a forum for others who may already be doing group spiritual direction online and have wisdom to offer the Contemplative community. A representative of the Shalem group spiritual direction program will be on hand to answer questions about their program. We will begin with 10 minutes of Centering Prayer. \nRegister here: https://form.jotform.com/220324228490146 \nAbout Rev. Carol E. A.

Many paintings can aid in our “seeing\,” but icons allow us to “behold.” In our contemplative prayer\, first through a silent “gazing” at the image in Visio Divina\, another realm begins to appear which lures us to step beyond the gaze into the ineffable realm of the Divine\, where “Beholding” is the work of silence.” This “Beholding” transfigures the way we see the world\, how we act in it\, and conveys the great hope of God’s enduring love and wisdom as promised in the Covenant of Peace. \nIn this mini retreat\, we will practice contemplative “Beholding” through Visio Divina of icons from the ancient Orthodox Akathistos Hymn\, The O Antiphons\, The Litany of Loretto\, and the Old Testament Wisdom Books. We shall see that there are really two Christmas stories of Incarnation occurring during this season: one occurring in time and space as the incarnation of Christ; another occurring in eternity\, as the incarnation of the Divine. We will follow the Contemplative Outreach guidelines for Visio Divina. \nRev. Dr. Mary Atalo is an Archpriest of the Wisdom tradition in the independent Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch\, and Associate Dean of Sophia Divinity School\, the Church’s distant learning Seminary. She is the rector of a newly formed church\, “Our Lady of the Bridge” in Union Bridge\, MD\, a sacramental and contemplative community in the Christian mystical tradition. She had a former 30-year career as an oceanographer\, and seeks to bridge science and religion. In 2020\, she led the COMW Advent mini-retreat\, and has been an advocate of the contemplative prayer practices of Fr. Thomas Keating and Fr. William Meninger in daily life.

Using translations of the Song of Songs and John of the Cross from Miles-Yépez’s own book\, My Love Stands Behind a Wall: A Translation of the Song of Songs and Other Poems\, he will lead us through the mystical landscape of the great poet and saint\, and lead Centering Prayer for us from John’s teachings in The Living Flame of Love. \nPlease register using the link below.

In this talk\, Rabbi Rami will use elements of the Twelve Steps as well as insights common to all mystical traditions\, including Thomas Keating\, to explore the notion of playing God and the liberating realization that God is playing us. This presentation will include a 20-minute Centering Prayer session. \nRabbi Rami Shapiro\, PhD is an award–winning author of over thirty–six books on religion\, spirituality\, and recovery. Rami co–directs the One River Foundation\, is a Contributing Editor with Spirituality and Health magazine\, hosts two podcasts— Essential Conversations with Rabbi Rami\, and Conversations on the Edge—and a weekly Zoom “talk show” called Roadside Assistance at the Corner of Tohu va-Vohu (Wild and Chaos).

Knowing who we are is the first step into growing in wisdom. Enneagram personality types will show us what motivates us and why some of us can focus\, learn\, pray\, and have a discipline of life better than others. \nThis online two-day retreat on zoom is a quick look into the Enneagrammic person in us. When we know what inspires us\, then it will be easier for us to pray and play. When we pray well\, we will play well\, meaning\, we will do whatever we do for living joyfully. \nSet aside one day and take this program from the comfort of your home. Each session is about 20 minutes long with a 10 minutes break in between. You can interact with Fr. Jos while you are attending just like being in a classroom. You don’t need to download anything or call anyone. Just simply be home in your PJs and have a cup of coffee and relax\, learn\, and grow.

There are several other bundled studies available in one registration. You can register for the event at:  \nhttps://retreats.houseofblessings.org/p/cp \nTraining in silent prayer: Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer. In this prayer\, we experience God's presence within us. It is closer than breathing\, closer than thinking\, closer than consciousness itself. This prayer form\, as Fr. Keating says\, is both a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. \nCentering Prayer Adds depth to prayer life: Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer. Centering Prayer adds depth of meaning to all prayer. It facilitates the movement from more active modes of prayer – verbal\, mental or affective prayer – into a receptive prayer of resting in God. Centering Prayer emphasizes prayer as a personal relationship with God and as a movement beyond conversation with Christ to communion with Christ. \nMeant for all people: This method is open to all people. There are no requirements or pre-requisites\, only your willingness to spend a few minutes twice a day.  \nWebcast: This webcast is available at any time you are ready to take the program.
