SUMMARY:Intro to Centering Prayer Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Do you seek the still small voice of God? Do you seek a more intimate relationship with God? Come and find a way to deepen your relationship with God. \nCentering Prayer is a method of consenting to God’s presence and action within. It prepares us to receive God’s gift of contemplative prayer\, which is an opening of our hearts and minds to God beyond thoughts\, words\, and emotions. This prayer practice\, rooted in the Christian contemplative heritage\, helps us embrace the process of transformation in Christ. The Centering Prayer Introductory Program is designed to share the method of Centering Prayer and offer support in making it a part of daily life. The workshop includes themes of Prayer as Relationship\, The Method of Centering Prayer\, Thoughts and Use of the Sacred Word\, and Deepening Our Relationship with God\, along with time in Centering Prayer and the opportunity to submit questions. \nThose already practicing Centering Prayer and are looking for an in-person experience are welcome to both the Introductory session and to the ongoing sessions. \nPaula Whatley Matabane will be presenting the workshop. Paula is a commissioned presenter of contemplative prayer through Contemplative Outreach\, Inc. She is a practicing spiritual director affiliated with Ignatius House Jesuit Retreat Center in Atlanta\, ordained itinerant elder in the African Methodist Episcopal Church\, and professor emerita of Howard University in Washington\, DC. Her memoir on her grandmother’s life in rural Southwest Georgia in the 1890s is soon to be published. The Atlanta native is a mother and not ashamed to describe herself as a resolute family historian-genealogist\, social activist\, cat lover\, and bicyclist. Her favorite scripture is Romans 11:29 “The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable.” \nScholarships are available.
