Introduction to Centering Prayer in German Language – Stille finden mitten im Leben
2025-09-27 10:00 - 14:00 (Europe/Berlin) | CT
In den 70er Jahren begannen Thomas Keating und andere den Reichtum der christlichen, stillen Meditationspraxis (Kontemplation) wiederzuentdecken. Aus diesen Anfängen ist eine Praxis entstanden, die inzwischen weltweit verbreitet ist und das Gebet der Sammlung (Englisch: Centering Prayer) genannt wird.
Die praktizierte Stille tut einfach gut und kann heilsam wirken.
In diesem Workshop wird das wortlose Gebet der Sammlung (Centering Prayer), einer modernen Form des Herzensgebets, anhand vier einfacher Schritte vorgestellt und eingeübt.
Neben der Einführung in die Methode gibt es die Gelegenheit Fragen und Austausch. Ein Anfang, um “beherzt” dem modernen Leben zu begegnen.
Der Kurs ist kostenlos.
27.9.2025 in Berlin Steglitz (Paulus-Gemeinde Lichterfelde), 10-14:00 Uhr.
Veranstaltungsort: Dorfkirche der Paulus Gemeinde Berlin Steglitz-Lichterfelde, Hindenburgdamm 101a, 12203 Berlin.

God is Love – The Heart of All Creation - via Zoom
2025-09-25 18:15 - 20:30 UTC | Internet – Online
God is Love: The Heart of All Creation Series continues and builds on the works of Thomas Keating over the past 30+ years, beginning with the Spiritual Journey series. It offers a vision of hope and a view of reality that at once integrates the sciences, religion and humankind’s place in the cosmos as divine in origin, unifying in purpose, unfolding in its grandeur.
This nine-week God is Love video series is Fr. Thomas Keating’s latest in the Spiritual Journey Series. It is a masterful overview of how we can grow and deepen our relationship with God and how God manifests through us. The presentations both motivate and inspire us to be faithful to the Centering Prayer practice.
Thomas also shares how God invites us to draw closer to Him and to allow God to transform us through Centering Prayer. This is a “must attend” series, especially for those who have been doing the practice for some time. Class session will begin with 20 minutes of Centering Prayer.
This is a nine-week class, offered on Thursday evenings, September 25 – November 20, 2025
Times listed are Mountain time (Denver, CO)

The Enneagram - a Christian Wisdom Approach
2025-09-20 09:30 - 15:30 (America/Halifax) | St Paul’s Episcopal Church, 127 Summer Street, Lynnfield, MA, 01940, United States
From a Wisdom perspective, the overarching message of Jesus’ teaching is the transformation of our ordinary ego-driven consciousness. In the scriptures, this is spoken of as stepping into the larger mind, or putting on the mind of Christ. The Enneagram is a tool based on ancient wisdom that can help us to see the contours of ego — appreciating the strengths and limitations of personality as well as revealing the path for growth and transformation. Through a balance of
teaching and practice, this retreat will explore structures of personality that make up the nine different points of the Enneagram. With a greater understanding of how these structures work, participants will be able to approach the Enneagram as a tool for the transformation of consciousness that Jesus calls us to — a tool that includes and goes beyond the descriptions of the nine types.
The program includes sessions of Centering Prayer.
Henry Schoenfield is a member of the service team for Contemplative Outreach of Boston and a board member and senior student in Cynthia Bourgeault’s Wisdom network, Wisdom Waypoints. He has studied the Enneagram of personality with Russ Hudson among other teachers and is certified in the Integrative
Enneagram assessment tool (iEQ9). He is an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, a spiritual director, certified professional coach, and retreat and workshop facilitator.

Silence and Contemplation: A Path to Inner Freedom
2025-09-05 17:00 - 2025-09-07 14:00 (Europe/Amsterdam) | Sacred Heart Monastery, Missiezusters Klooster, 20, Steyl, Venlo, 5935 BX, Netherlands
“Contemplative prayer is simply a wordless, trusting opening of self to the divine presence. Far from being advanced, contemplative prayer is the simplest form of prayer that exists.”
– Cynthia Bourgeault
In a world filled with noise and uncertainty, our soul thirsts for silence as a path to inner peace and freedom. More than a technique, contemplation is a way of being that is connected with the soul’s desire to touch God’s Mystery.
This weekend will be in silence and will include input sessions on the Centering Prayer method, guided practice as a group, and opportunity for soul companionship if desired.
Even if you are not a beginner, you are most welcome to make this experience of silence.

Contemplative Living I: Contemplative Practices in Daily Life (Online)
September – December 2025
I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you.
– Ezekiel 36:26)
Course Description
“Contemplative life begins when we first step into the silence of our heart. It’s a pilgrimage—a journey that takes us first to the inner reaches of who we really are, and from there, into the life we were meant to live.”
– Julie Saad, Contemplative Life: Discovering Our Path into the Heart of God
This four-month long online course is experiential, guiding participants to deepen their experience of the abiding presence of God by cultivating their contemplative capacities. Participants will learn and integrate contemplative spiritual practices into daily life within a community of seekers through monthly meetings, a weekly online prayer chapel, personal practices, and monthly Holy Listening Circles (group spiritual direction.)
Contemplative practices are the doorway into the gift of contemplative prayer, where the journey that begins in the silence of our hearts leads us into the heart of God. As we cultivate contemplative practices in ordinary daily life, we begin to experience oneness with God and all creation.
Course Objectives
To establish a daily practice of Centering Prayer
To integrate contemplative spiritual practices into daily life
To cultivate contemplative attitudes and disposition
To foster contemplative listening that comes from a listening heart, rather than from the ego or mind
