SUMMARY:Centering Prayer Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, July 19 to Sunday\, July 21\, 2019 Centering Prayer Retreat \nDirected by Cathy Hightower\, Mark Dannenfelser and Maggie Winfrey  \nDelve into a deeply spiritual experience growing closer to God on a two-night Centering Prayer retreat. Transform and deepen your relationship with God through Centering Prayer. Renew your mind by absorbing the wisdom of mystical masters. Open and refresh your center with gentle yoga. Discover the healing benefits of mindful walking on beautiful natural trails.  Centering Prayer is a method that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplation by cultivating interior silence and purity of heart. Centering Prayer was distilled from the profound and ancient teachings of the Christian contemplative heritage first evident in the early Desert Fathers and Mothers. The method\, as taught by Trappist monk\, Fr. Thomas Keating\, O.C.S.O.\, uses silence and attention to encourage the development of alert receptivity of God’s presence and action within.  An atmosphere of silence will be maintained during the retreat.  \nPlease see the flyer below under "Additional Information." \nTo register\, go to \nhttps://www3.thedatabank.com/dpg/473/donate.asp?formid=Enrichment&c=587664

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\, July 20\, 2019 \n$60 fee includes lunch \nFor more information go to <www.stmaryssewanee.org>.

SUMMARY:Special Event
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative Outreach of NJ Presents \nMerton and Me: A Living Trinity \nWritten and Presented by Douglas Hertler AKA Doug Lory \nJuly 20\, 2019 \nSt. Walburga Monastery\, 851 North Broad St.\, Elizabeth\, NJ \nRegistration and coffee: 9:00 A.M. – Program starts at 9:30 A.M.; ends at 3:00 P.M. \nThe program will include two periods of Centering Prayer\, followed by a performance\, Q&A\, short lunch break and reflection \nPlease bring a bag lunch \nFee: $30; Seniors: $20 \nFor further information about this event\, please see the flyer below under "additional information" or contact Therese Saulnier at 201-436-8256 or lectio844@hotmail.com \nTestimonials: \n“A powerful interplay between the true self (who I am)\, the false self (who I project myself to be or the only self I know myself to be) and the voice of Thomas Merton (a voice of wisdom) challenging me to be the self I am called to be – the transformed self.  Superbly acted\, mirroring the complexity of the human person\, celebrating the role of the wisdom person who we need to meet in our lives.  Doug challenges us to find that person.” \n	– Fr. Carl Arico \n“Doug’s ability to weave Merton’s brilliance into his own life experience is professional\, moving and insightful”\n	– Teresa Scott \n“Doug Lory has created a contemporary Seven Story Mountain in theatrical form”\n	– Dr. Carol Joyce
