And then you’re in the present moment. That’s the only place God is. So\, if you’re there too\, then all you have to do is accept what’s happening\, or do what God wants you to do about what’s happening\, which will be infused and … guided … regardless of how many faults you have. … So\, what’s the point of living? As far as I can see\, it’s only a day at a time to give God a chance to take over our very complicated human situation completely … And whatever we do is in the service of that project\, so we don’t have to think about it if you’re in the present moment."                                                    \n– Thomas Keating\, "The Present Moment"\, excerpted from That We May Be One \nJoin us for a weekend given to the practice of Presence\, to surrender to Divine Being ~ in the company of community and the natural beauty of the Mercy Center grounds. Our retreat will include silence\, several periods of Centering Prayer\, chanting\, selected Thomas Keating videos\, sharing\, contemplative free time\, and opportunity for liturgy\, gentle yoga\, and body work. \nCatherine Regan\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director\, retired psychologist\, and adjunct staff member at Mercy Center\, primarily serving on the Centering Prayer team.  She has a special interest in fostering contemplative practices so urgently needed at this time in our world. \nJoy Andrews Hayter\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director\, scientist\, and Centering Prayer coordinator at Mercy Center.  She is dedicated to fostering Centering Prayer and other contemplative practices that help us become aware of God's ever-present love.  \nPlease register at www.mercy-center.org or telephone 650-340-7474 \n

This deeper understanding helps them to better recognize that contemplative service is service freely offered without expectation of return. \nThe schedule includes: \nOne and a half hours of Centering Prayer daily\n	Presentations by the staff of one conference of Session one of An Introduction to Centering Prayer each morning.\n	Participants present portions of the same material to a small group in the afternoons. \nCriteria for Register for: Formation for Contemplative Outreach Service \nParticipated in “An Introduction to Centering Prayer”\n	Established Centering Prayer practice – minimum of daily two twenty-minute periods ~ for three years.\n	Participated in an 8- or 10-day Centering Prayer Intensive Retreat\, either before attending Formation or within one year after attending Formation\, and before becoming fully commissioned. If intensive retreats are not geographically available (or) Participated in a 5 or 7 day Centering Prayer Intensive Retreat (or) Participated in four weekend silent Centering Prayer Retreats over previous 3 years\n	Studied Open Mind\, Open Heart by Thomas Keating.

SUMMARY:Introductory Lectio Divina Workshop
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to a workshop on Lectio Divina on Saturday January 11th 2020. Location is St Gall’s Catholic Community\, 9 AM – 1 PM.  \nLectio Divina is an ancient contemplative way of praying the Scriptures.  Finding time each day to ponder the Scriptures\, to listen attentively with the ear of the heart and to allow the Word of God to speak to us\, leads us to discover the deeper meaning of Scripture and opens us to a deeper intimacy with God.  Reflection on the Word imprints the Word on one’s heart and slowly changes the way one perceives reality and how we respond to daily life.  It puts us in touch with the very ground of our being\, where we are one with God’s Spirit within us.  The transforming power of Lectio Divina frees us from our falsity and slowly draws us into our truth in the light of God’s Word.  Over time we are shaped into the word of God we were created to be. \nPlease reserve a place by registering with Therese (775) 901-3839 so that a handout will be available for you.  Coffee and tea will be provided\, however please bring something to share.  The workshop is provided free of charge. \n

SUMMARY:Introduction to Centering Prayer Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Centering Prayer is a form of Christian silent mediation where one lets go of thoughts during periods of prayer typically lasting 20 minutes. It is rooted in the self-emptying love that forms the heart of Jesus’ teaching and life. The effect on those who practice it is an ever-increasing awareness of God’s action and presence in the course of ordinary life. \nIn this introductory workshop led by Tom Ward\, participants will learn the method and principles of this prayer practice and have the opportunity to experience this ancient method in a quiet\, reflective atmosphere. \nThe Rev. Tom Ward is the retired university chaplain at the University of the South and now spends his days focusing on the contemplative dimension of the gospel\, teaching Centering Prayer\, and leading retreats. \n9 a.m. to 3 p.m.\, Saturday\, January 4\, 2020 \nFor more information go to www.stmaryssewanee.org.
