SUMMARY:The Welcoming Prayer via Zoom - For Those Who Practice Centering Prayer

The Welcoming Prayer is a method of consenting to God’s presence and action in our physical and emotional reactions to events and situations in daily life. The purpose of the Welcoming Prayer is to deepen our relationship with God through consenting in the ordinary activities of our day — “consent-on-the-go.” \nA reliable internet connection with the capability for audio and video is required. There will be opportunities for questions and discussion. Prerequisite: Introduction to Centering Prayer or an established Centering Prayer practice. \nRetreat Director: Sister Mary McGehee\, OSB

SUMMARY:​  Introduction to Centering Prayer (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Centering Prayer is a form of Christian prayer rooted in the ancient Christian contemplative tradition.

SUMMARY:David Frenette Workshop - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Contemplative Outreach\, Ltd. \nSilence Speaking\, Stillness Acting: Centering Prayer\, Contemplative Petition and Unity\nSunday February 20\, 2022 via Zoom\n11am – 1pm Pacific Time (noon Mountain; 1pm Central; 2pm Eastern; London (BST) 7pm; UTC 19:00)\nFree; suggested donation $35 USD \nHelp!  Our world\, our loved ones and we ourselves are in need of help.  Always\, and it seems especially\, now. How can we use our Centering Prayer practice to connect with the needs around us and to pray for help in a way that is aligned with our contemplative journey? \nThis workshop will explore the practice of contemplative petition: prayers of intercession flowing from the dynamic silence and stillness of Centering Prayer. Contemplative petition can help embody our Centering Prayer practice with intention\, connecting it with our human needs and the needs of the world. This is not just “praying for what we want” in a materialistic or magical-thinking way. This practice is about surrendering into God in trust\, as ultimately\, contemplative petition is God in us\, praying for God in others. \nWe will learn how Centering Prayer’s greatest relevance for our contemporary world is in the way it can flow into contemplative petition and contemplative service\, into what happens off the prayer seat\, in the integration of silence and speech\, stillness and action. \nJoin us as we experientially learn three basic guidelines for a practice of contemplative petition.  We will have two short periods of Centering Prayer\, the first flowing into a group petition for a common need\, the second expressing itself in personalized petitions for a need of your own.  We will have small breakout groups for sharing and you will also receive a worksheet that will guide you in continuing your personal contemplative petition practice on your own. \nYou may also be interested in the 2021 November session\, The Dynamic Center of Being. \nThis event will be recorded for those that cannot attend the live version. \nAbout David Frenette: \nDavid Frenette\, author of The Path of Centering Prayer: Deepening Your Experience of God (Sounds True 2012)\, is a contemplative spiritual director\, mentor for other spiritual directors\, and spiritual writer. He co-created and co-led a contemplative retreat community where he lived as a monk for 10 years. He has an MA in transpersonal counseling psychology\, has been a trustee of Contemplative Outreach (the international Centering Prayer organization)\, an adjunct faculty member at Naropa University\, a founding member of Integral Spirituality\, and a teacher at leading retreat centers across the country. From 1983 until his death in 2018\, David’s spiritual father was the Trappist monk and founder of Centering Prayer\, Father Thomas Keating. Learn more about David here. \nRegister for the event here:

SUMMARY:Introduction to The Welcoming Prayer
DESCRIPTION:“Martha\, Martha\, you are worried and anxious about many things … but one thing is needful.”\n-Luke 10:42 \nThe Mary and Martha story is an example of the focus we can bring to everyday life activities. As the Welcoming Prayer 40-day practice booklet reminds us: “To assist this process\, we need complementary practices. Centering Prayer teaches us consenting in stillness; the Welcoming Prayer practice teaches us consenting in activity.” \n“The Welcoming Prayer practice is a way of letting go into the present moment in the ordinary routines of daily life. It is used when your needs for security\, affection and control are frustrated or gratified and cause emotional reactions. It is a way of turning everything over to God …” Thomas Keating\, Open Mind\, Open Heart \nThe presenters are part of the community of the Center for Contemplative Living in Denver CO. Over the years they have been blessed through the presence and teachings of Thomas Keating OCSO\, and Mary Mrozowski as well as many other spiritual leaders. \nWe hope to see you at our workshop. May you be open to including the Welcoming Prayer in your invitation to the Holy Spirit to extend the walls of your inner room to all of life. \nTime listed is Mountain Time (Denver\, Colorado)\nClick the link below to register.

SUMMARY:Deepening Spiritual Practice through Three-Centered Awareness - Online
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Phileena Heuertz of the Gravity Center\nSponsored by Contemplative Outreach Chicago \nThree-centered awareness is crucial for experiencing Divine Presence; mind\, heart\, and body coming online and cooperating together. But too often\, we experience shut-down in one or more of these centers. This limits our capacity for opening to Presence and receiving the integration and wholeness for which we long. \nAre you curious about the deeper\, subtle\, life-changing dynamics of contemplative prayer? Do you feel stuck in your practice and desire to progress? Are you wondering how to more regularly bring the gifts of your sitting practice into your daily experiences of life and relationships? \nIf so\, join Phileena Heuertz for this 3 hour online contemplative experience. During our time together\, Phileena will offer a mix of foundational teaching\, guided group contemplation\, and three-centered awareness practice. \nNote: All times are in Central Time Zone.

SUMMARY:Divine Therapy Workshop - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Divine Therapy is a six-week course that takes a more advanced look at the process of spiritual transformation. Fr. Keating integrates into his teachings St. John of the Cross’s Dark Night of the Soul\, also called the Night of Sense\, which describes a feeling of God’s absence in our lives or the “Biblical desert.” From there\, Fr. Keating moves into the Night of Spirit\, drawing on St. Theresa of Avila’s paradigm for spiritual transformation. He also shares his unique take on the Beatitudes\, explaining how they speak to the potential for dismantling the false-self system and healing our emotional programs for happiness. \nThis course is based on talks given by Fr. Thomas Keating on issues that surface after Centering Prayer has been practiced over an extended period of time. Topics include Night of Sense\, Night of Spirit\, What Contemplation is Not\, and Contemplation and Action. The class includes a twenty-minute period of centering prayer\, viewing the videotape and time for discussion. \nCourses 1 Basic Centering Prayer and 2 Human Condition are prerequisites. \nTimes listed are Mountain Time. Please register using the link below.  Two different time options are available for the six-week course.

SUMMARY:Heartfulness workshop - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:In the Heartfulness 9-week series\, Fr. Thomas Keating reminds us that we are called by God to open to a new reality that is our true Self … the image and likeness of God. The path to this true Self and all its fruits and gifts is the challenge of becoming fully human\, and to become fully human is to become fully divine. This is the fullness of life itself\, a life abiding in the grace and truth of Christ\, while at the same time\, fully being the unique person you are. Fr. Thomas calls this the journey of heartfulness\, and says that Centering Prayer might be thought of as heartfulness. Centering Prayer as contemplative prayer is a reflection on the mysteries of faith that has been digested and reflected upon and expressed in acts of love until it has simplified into a movement of the will that is becoming quasi-permanent – a way of occupying the mind and transferring it to the heart so that with practice it becomes more “heartfulness” than “mindfulness”. \nThis is a 9-week series beginning on Thursday\, September 23 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm Mountain Time.  Please register using the link below.

SUMMARY:“The Cloud of Unknowing” via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:An anonymous Christian contemplative from the middle ages wrote the classic work The Cloud of Unknowing. Centering Prayer\, of course\, is based on this seminal work of spiritual practice. The whole of The Cloud of Unknowing is about contemplation. The practice of contemplation goes beyond the mind. It goes into unknowing. The author is insistent on this point. Our minds cannot grasp God because God is transcendent mystery. Therefore\, we must pray beyond the thinking mind. \nIn this half-day retreat\, we will seek to learn how to deepen our practice of Centering Prayer from the mysterious author of The Cloud of Unknowing. There is deep teaching in this work concerning how we deal with thoughts\, humility\, intention\, and growth in divine unity. \nLed by LJ Milone\nHaving practiced Centering Prayer for 17 years\, LJ Milone has gone deep into the Catholic tradition. His spirituality is greatly influenced by Francis of Assisi\, Meister Eckhart\, the Cloud of Unknowing\, Thomas Keating\, Richard Rohr\, Anthony De Mello\, and\, ultimately\, the teachings of Jesus. As a pastoral minister at a Catholic parish in Silver Spring\, MD\, he has served the faith formation needs of children\, as well as adults since June 2007. A leader of many retreats\, lectures\, and classes on the topics of the teachings of Jesus\, contemplative prayer\, Centering Prayer\, Christian mysticism\, and contemporary spirituality\, LJ is also a spiritual director receiving his training at the Hesychia School of Spiritual Direction in Tucson\, AZ. \nRegister using this link (scroll to event date) https://contemplativeoutreachofmarylandandwashington.org/retreats-events/half-day-retreats-intro-workshops/

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 one-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. Register now and you will be provided with a secure link for the Zoom Retreat.  \n09:30 am Introduction and Prayer\n10: 00 am Session 1\n10: 50 am break\n11: 00 am Session 2\n11: 50 am Centering Prayer Session\n12: 10 pm Lunch break\n01: 00 pm Session 3\n01: 50 pm break\n02: 00 pm Session 4\n02: 50 pm break\n03: 00 pm Session 5\n04: 00 pm Concluding Prayer \nRegistration Link: https://hobs.houseofblessings.org/hobsretreat/256/4th-centering-prayer-and-enneagram-retreat/

SUMMARY:Wisdom\, Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:During this class we will examine wisdom as it is found in the Hebrew Scripture known as Wisdom Literature. We will explore what these books offered to the community of Israel\, look at how they are reflected in the New Testament and see how they are carried out in our contemplative community. \nFinally we consider the teachings of Thomas Keating and other contemporary spiritual writers to discover how ancient wisdom is made new again for our contemplative community. Wisdom is part of the mystery of Divine Presence in our lives and as such is constantly being revealed to us in ever deeper ways. This class provides the participants background information to passages they might use in prayer\, study or Lectio. \nSaint Augustine says that we cannot love what we do not know. Join us to learn more about wisdom and see where it leads. Each class has time for reflecting on questions suggested by scripture and then sharing what we discover from our own life experience. Sharing our own wisdom and listening to the wisdom of others gives us examples and insight into God at work in our daily lives. \nA printable online journal is provided. \nPlease see the link below for more information and to register.

SUMMARY:Richard Rohr\, OFM - "When Everything is Adrift"
DESCRIPTION:We are offered a tremendous opportunity in our day to change ourselves and our world. This opportunity may be described as a time of major regression\, denial of the past and even collapse! This is no exaggeration as we look at the state of our planet\, our worldwide politics of despair\, the abandonment of many religious traditions and Western Christianity in particular\, the loss of moral authority through the pedophilia crisis in the Catholic Church\, and what historians will probably refer to as the abandonment of truth. Not to mention the pandemic and its global effects. How do we rebuild on such a non-foundation? \nPlease see the event web link below for more information and to register.
