SUMMARY:The Body as a Place of Encounter with God (in-person and online)
DESCRIPTION:Rediscovering the Lost Body‑Connection within Christian Spirituality draws participants into the heart of Edwin McMahon and Peter Campbell’s pioneering vision of BioSpirituality. Grounded in Christian wisdom\, psychology\, and contemplative practice\, this day explores how the body is a primary place of encounter with God. Through gentle teaching\, guided BioSpiritual Focusing exercises\, and shared reflection\, participants begin learning to listen to their body’s felt knowing\, welcoming the gift of arising grace\, and rediscovering themselves as interconnected\, living cells within the Whole Body of Christ. \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 morning and afternoon sessions of Centering Prayer. Times listed below are in Eastern (New York) Time.

SUMMARY:Centering Prayer Introductory Workshop — via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Are you seeking a path to explore or strengthen your inner connection with God at the centre of your being? \nCentering Prayer is a practice that leads to contemplation by opening oneself to God’s love\, healing\, and inner goodness; moreover\, it nurtures the soul’s desire to grow in kindness and compassion towards all. \nThe online workshop offers a glimpse into this practice through short inputs on the method of Centering Prayer\, along with times of silent practice together. \nYou are most welcome\, whether you are a beginner or simply desire to refresh your practice. \nPlease see the link below to register.

SUMMARY:The Christian Contemplative Path: Journeying Beyond True Self to No Self
DESCRIPTION:This day offers a transformative exploration of the Christian contemplative and mystical tradition\, guiding participants through the classic stages of the spiritual path—Purgative\, Illuminative\, and Unitive—and culminating in the profound realization of “No Self\,” where all constructs of self dissolve and only God’s Presence remains. Drawing on the wisdom of both classical and modern Christian mystics\, including Bernadette Roberts\, Fr. Thomas Keating\, and Cynthia Bourgeault\, we will examine how this journey leads beyond union to the mystery of selfless presence. Participants will gain practical tools and spiritual insights to support their ongoing journey and how that might align with Contemplatives from other Spiritual traditions. \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 morning and afternoon sessions of Centering Prayer.
