SUMMARY:Sister Kathleen Deignan\, CND  ​”Thomas Merton: Guide Through the Dark Night of Earth” – via zoom
DESCRIPTION:Among the great luminaries of the Christian spiritual tradition\, the modern master\, Thomas Merton\, shines a penetrating light upon our challenging lives and times. More than half a century after his death\, Merton grows in stature and relevance as a pattern of integral ecological consciousness becomes evident throughout his written corpus as its complexity and unity become more transparent with time. As the contemporary ecological crisis deepens\, we urgently require more than instrumental remedies to stem the life-loss of our ecosphere suffered at human hands. We need a penetrating understanding of the more troubling and mysterious pathology underlying it: why\, indeed\, have we plundered our planetary paradise? \nThis was the difficult “koan” Merton carried to fruition as he explored the congenital disorientation of spirit that exiles us from our common home in the community of creation. Having suffered such exile\, he recovered from it\, and taught a holistic therapy of contemplative living that can restore our ecological consciousness\, conscience\, and practice. This program will explore Merton’s wisdom for the Dark Night of Earth. \nThis event will include 20 minutes of Centering Prayer.   \nTime listed is Mountain Time. \nClick the Link Below for Registration Information

SUMMARY:Introduction to Centering Prayer Workshop -- via Zoom and in-person
DESCRIPTION:This event is both in-person and via Zoom. \n“Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” (Mt 28:11) Centering Prayer\, a Christian form of meditation\, is a way to become more receptive to the Holy Spirit’s presence in our life\, supporting\, inspiring and leading us. Centering prayer serves as a method of movement into contemplative prayer\, a way to open ourselves to the Divine Presence\, to rest in God\, freeing us to better love\, work with and serve others. If you feel the Spirit calling you\, come explore Centering Prayer. Discover the possibility of resting in the healing presence of God\, of being better able to help in Jesus’ work of lifting burdens. \nThe Centering Prayer Introductory Workshop familiarizes participants with the method of Centering Prayer and its conceptual background and offers two opportunities to experience the prayer. The program will be led by Contemplative Outreach trained presenters. \nWhen/Where: Saturday\, May 14\, 2022\, 9:00 am – 12:30 pm CDT (UTC -5) via Zoom and at The Center for Contemplative Living\, 890 Elm Grove Road\, The Village Court\, Building 1\, Elm Grove\, WI \nCost: $25

SUMMARY:Notes of Rest - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Contemplative Outreach of Chicago \nNotes of Rest is a musical-textual retreat\, which places meditations from a Bible passage and writings from Black contemplatives on a bed of music\, cultivating stillness\, introspection\, and creativity in communities so that all may find rest. The approach may be thought of as a kind of “Musica Divina\,” which uses the beauty and spiritual power of music to help workshop participants find their way to a quiet\, reflective interior space where we can be fully receptive to grace\, or what Thomas Keating described as “God’s presence and action within.” The event will start with 20 minutes of Centering Prayer prior to the 90-minute Notes of Rest workshop. Then there will be a half-hour break\, followed by an optional lecture on music and Black contemplative life and their unique contributions to Christian mysticism. \nPlease see the link below to register.

SUMMARY:Mystic Series: Gift of Tears
DESCRIPTION:In-person and via Zoom at the Center for Contemplative Living in Elm Grove\, Wisconsin\, USA \nIn ancient times contemplatives aspired to the Gift of Tears. Here and there it is treasured even today. Mingled perhaps with some ambivalence. We will touch on several perspectives of the nature of this delicate Gift: historical\, contemporary\, psychological\, and spiritual. We’ll also look at the different types and purposes of tears\, how the Gift manifests\, and key figures who’ve had the Gift of Tears. \nThe evening will begin with a 20-minute Centering Prayer sit\, followed by the presentation\, and time for Q&A and reflective discussion.  If you have not had previous exposure to Centering Prayer\, please let us know beforehand and we will arrange to give you a brief explanation of the method a few minutes before the event begins. \nPRESENTER: Debbie Harmon has practiced Centering Prayer for over 30 years. Since the 1990s\, she has been involved with Contemplative Outreach in the Midwest\, spoken on a variety of spiritual topics\, facilitated groups and retreats\, and been a commissioned presenter of the Introductory Centering Prayer Workshop. Debbie is a spiritual director and holds a Master of Divinity and Master’s in Pastoral Counseling from Loyola University Chicago. \nDonations up to $20 are welcome.

SUMMARY:Centering Prayer and Oneness
DESCRIPTION:“Contemplation…is not a special gift. It is simply seeing form the perspective of oneness\, or in other words\, from the level of our spiritual awareness. It can indeed be practiced\, and over time\, with sincerity and persistence\, it becomes an abiding state of consciousness.”\n― Cynthia Bourgeault\, in Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening \nOur contemplative practice opens up a new way of seeing and being\, acknowledging our oneness with each other\, with the world\, and with God. As we consent to the Spirit\, we consent to the help that is always being offered to us and to our world. \nOur Centering Prayer is an important foundation in this\, and yet it doesn’t end when we get up off the cushion. In all of the times of our day we can continue to offer ourselves to Sacred Unity. Throughout our activity\, and in the evening and at night – we are continually a part of this Oneness. \nJoin us as we offer our beloved being up to God\, sitting together in the quiet\, moving throughout our day\, and entering the evening and night in prayer together. This retreat is suitable for people with a long-time practice of Centering Prayer\, and will also provide guidance for those relatively new to it. We are planning a spacious schedule blanketed in sacred silence so that you will have time to walk the beautiful Mercy grounds\, and to do other deeply relaxing practices that we’ll talk about. Bring a journal and pen if you like. There is a lovely craft room at Mercy Center but bring additional art supplies if you prefer. \nRecommended reading (we will be presenting material from this book):\nCentering Prayer and Inner Awakening by Cynthia Bourgeault \nRetreat Leaders:\nJoy Andrews Hayter\, Ph.D. is a spiritual director whose offerings include Centering Prayer and other contemplative practices of the Christian Wisdom tradition. These practices encourage us to lean into the Love that is constantly being offered within a relational web of Sacred Unity. As a scientist she sees in the physical world an expression of that love. \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 participating in the reclamation of the Christian Wisdom tradition and fostering the contemplative practices so urgently needed at this time in our world. \nHeather Ruce\, M.A. is a wisdom spiritual director with a background as a therapist and training in a neurophysiology based approach to trauma resolution. She loves working with individuals as well as facilitating groups and retreats focused on learning and practicing the Wisdom Tradition. \nLink to COVID Protocol: https://mercy-center.org/guest-protocol/\nContact Us: 650-340-7474\nMC@sistersofmercy.org\nFor more information visit: www.mercy-center.org\nThese are unprecedented times.
