SUMMARY:Guard of the Heart via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:“One practice to bring the effects of contemplative prayer into daily life is traditionally known as “Guard of the Heart.” This consists of letting go of every emotional disturbance as it arises and before we start thinking about it. This method is more sophisticated than dismantling the emotional programs for happiness because it deals with the whole of life. It expresses our ongoing intention to be with God in the present moment and sustains it.”\n– Fr. Thomas Keating\, 2017 \nSaturday\, October 23\, 2021\n9:00 am – 12:00 pm Mountain Time \nThis class will teach the practice of “Guard of the Heart” (Also referred to as “Watchfulness” or “Presence Practice”) and how it compliments our Centering Prayer\, and the practices of the Welcoming Prayer and the Active Prayer Phrase. We will learn the three ways any afflictive thought or emotional disturbance can be instantly released as it arises. Join us for this enriching and deepening complementary practice. \nPlease see the link below to register.

SUMMARY:The Humanity of Thomas Merton
DESCRIPTION:Though Thomas Merton lived as a contemplative monk studying\, writing\, and praying\, he remained vulnerable in his humanity\, making him most accessible to us. Seen through the lens of grace\, Merton’s teaching can help us learn to reach for God through our imperfections. During our time together\, we will focus on developing a relationship with Merton’s spirituality that might deepen our own. \nPeriods of Centering Prayer will be offered in the morning and afternoon.

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:Introduction to Centering Prayer as an 11th-Step Practice for those in 12-Step Programs
DESCRIPTION:The primary purpose of the 12-Step outreach team of Contemplative Outreach Northwest is to deepen our practice of the 11th step: “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him\, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.” We try to pass on the simple method of Centering Prayer to others in recovery. \nCentering Prayer is a type of prayer that has been used over the centuries\, but it is different from what we may think of as prayer. It is simply moving deep within ourselves\, in silence\, saying nothing\, asking for nothing\, just being and allowing our Higher Power to be with us. For those who are working a recovery program\, parallels can be found between the transformation that Centering Prayer brings and the process of growth facilitated as we work the 12 Steps. We believe that\, when applied as a daily supplement to the 12 Steps\, Centering Prayer opens us to the deepest dimension of spirituality. \nThis half-day Zoom workshop will introduce people in recovery to the practice of Centering Prayer\, with time to learn and practice the method\, ask questions\, and learn about local and national resources for continuing and deepening your practice. \nOn Zoom\nFree of charge\nHosted by St. Placid Priory Spirituality Center\, Olympia\, WA. \nINFORMATION –> click HERE.\nREGISTER NOW –> click HERE.
