SUMMARY:From Stillness to Being: Introductory Weekend in Centering Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Get to know Centering Prayer\, a silent meditation form of letting go. Let the silence carry you and let the music move you in your vitality. \nCentering Prayer is an ancient\, simple and silent form of meditation. What makes it special is the welcome of the inexorable flow of thoughts and feelings. Centering prayer is not something we do; it’s something we stop doing; we do let go and return to our innermost being. Our conditioning lies like a veil over our inner being and allows us happiness and the meaning of our lives in things\, feelings\, relationships\, activities\, substances search – ultimately in vain. Through the recurring letting go in Centering Prayer over time some of our conditioning may dissolve. \nMusic-driven movement and our creativity are two other avenues to get through sheaths of our conditioning to come to our core. The weekend is nourished by these three roots: Centering Prayer\, Movement of vitality and creativity. \nWhen: Fri. 11 November dinner at 6pm – Sun 13 November approx. 2.30pm\nWhere: Wohlgemutsheim Castle\, Baumkirchen\, Tyrol\nCourse costs: € 170 in cash on site\, as well as accommodation and meals (see registration form)\nContact and information: mayr.georg@gmail.com \nGeorge Mayr: Authorized Presenter for Centering Prayer and member of Global teams from Contemplative Outreach; Coach for Power of live dance.\nMarianne Steinberg: graduate holistic art therapist and dance and gestalt therapist. \n\nflyer_GermanIntroWorkshop_11-13Nov2022-1\n\nDownload the flyer for this event here. \nRegistration form\nSurname\ne-mail\nPhone optional)\nRoom request\, full board\, price for the whole weekend.

SUMMARY:Lectio Divina Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Lectio Divina literally means “divine reading”. It is an ancient practice of praying the Scriptures. During the prayer period\, the pray-er listens to a brief passage with “the ear of the heart” in conversation with God. In this one day workshop participants will learn how to practice Lectio Divina\, as well as hearing something of its history in the Christian tradition. They will also be given an opportunity to experience the process. As with Centering Prayer\, Lectio Divina leads to contemplative prayer. Unlike Centering Prayer\, thoughts\, images\, and insights are fostered as steps to intimacy with God. Both are part of the transformation process\, restoring the one praying to union with God. \nLunch is provided. Partial scholarships available – contact Reservations Office for application\, Reservations@stmaryssewanee.org or 931-598-5342.

SUMMARY:Retreat to Learn & Pray the Centering Prayer Way
DESCRIPTION:Will you join us in this one-day retreat cultivating a contemplative prayer life as we\nstudy\, practice\, and share “The Method of Centering Prayer – The Prayer of Consent”? \nGregory the Great summed up contemplative prayer at the end of the 6th century as the knowledge of God that is impregnated with love. He referred to contemplation as “resting in God.” In this “resting\,” the mind and heart are not so much seeking God\, as beginning to experience what they have been seeking. This state is not the suspension of all activity\, but the reduction of many acts and reflections to a single act or thought in order to sustain one’s consent to God’s presence and action. \nIf you are new to Centering Prayer\, do you seek to rest your mind and heart in the loving presence of God? How would it be to simply sit in silence enjoying each others company? \nIf you are familiar with Centering Prayer\, would you like to refresh your practice? \nFor more information and to register\, click on the “Event” website link below.

SUMMARY:Heart Speaks to Heart: Correspondence as Spiritual Practice
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative Enrichment Day with Judith Valente and Brother Paul Quenon\, O.C.S.O. \nThrough the ages\, correspondence has been an important contemplative practice to recognize and share the presence of God in our lives. Thomas Merton considered his nearly 20\,000 letters as an “apostolate of friendship.” We’ll look at how Merton’s most engaging letters inspired a years-long contemplative exchange between Brother Paul and Judith and how it might do the same for you. Brother Paul will also take us on a virtual tour of Gethsemani\, share his contemplative photographs and poetry\, and engage in dialogue about contemplative living. \nThis program will be offered both in-person and online via Zoom. Information on how to access the program on Zoom will be sent to participants in advance. \nThis program will include a morning and an afternoon session of Centering Prayer. \nJudith Valente is the author of several spirituality books\, including two co-authored with Brother Paul Quenon. The most recent is How to Be: A Monk and a Journalist Reflect on Living & Dying\, Purpose & Prayer\, Forgiveness & Friendship. She is an award-winning journalist and poet and a lay Benedictine Oblate who guides frequent contemplative retreats. Judith has written a contemporary guide on The Rule of St. Benedict\, titled How to Live. \nBrother Paul Quenon\, O.C.S.O.\, has been a monk at the Abbey of Gethsemani for 60 years\, the first years of which were spent under the guidance of his novice master\, Thomas Merton. He has written nine collections of poetry and an award-winning memoir\, In Praise of the Useless Life. He is a talented photographer\, and a compilation of his poems with photographs\, See the Moment\, Feel the Moment\, will be published in 2023.
