SUMMARY:Emotional Sobriety Through Contemplative Practice
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative Enrichment Day with Jim McElroy \nBill Wilson\, one of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous\, coined the term “Emotional Sobriety.” He noticed that some AA members with long-term sobriety still experienced troublesome emotional reactions which were caused by “faulty emotional dependencies.” Contemplative practice heals the emotional wounds of our lifetime and touches the deep unconscious\, where all of our real hurts\, motivations and deepest visions lie. This day will focus on using contemplative practices to respond with a new heart and being fully present in each moment. \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. \nJim McElroy has been practicing Centering Prayer since 1996 and has been a commissioned presenter since 2002. Jim has been on the leadership team of 12-Step Outreach since its formation in 2005 and is especially interested in teaching contemplative practices to the recovery community. He is a former coordinator of Contemplative Outreach of St. Louis and currently leads Contemplative Outreach’s Welcoming Prayer team and serves on Contemplative Outreach Ltd.’s Governing Board.

SUMMARY:Ubuntu and Contemplation: How an Indigenous African Philosophy Maps Our Spiritual Path to Global Community via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:with Michael Battle\nhttps://michaelbattle.com/about/ \nEmerging from the ancient cultural traditions of sub-Saharan Africa\, the deeply communitarian philosophy known as Ubuntu challenges Western habits of mind in ways that complement and complete the experience of contemplation. \nIn Centering Prayer and other contemplative practices\, we find a path that opens us up to oneness – both union with God and unity with all human beings\, including those who may seem different from us in race\, culture\, religion\, or national origin. As we move into this more connected state of awareness\, it is essential to do so communally\, rather than just individually – and grasping the message of Ubuntu is a big step toward the ability to love our neighbors as ourselves. \nIn this workshop\, we hope to bring together people from diverse backgrounds who share an interest in contemplation. Together we will learn about Ubuntu as we pray through\, think about and practice how to release the natural unity the Holy Spirit constantly offers the world. \nThe workshop is sponsored by Contemplative Outreach chapters in Chicago\, Atlanta\, Colorado\, and Maryland/Washington DC. \nREGISTER HERE
