SUMMARY:Intro to Centering Prayer Weekend Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Whether your interest is deepening your relationship with God\, relief from the stress of daily life\, or learning about contemplative prayer\, why not take some time this summer to learn and practice Centering Prayer? There will be plenty of time to rest and enjoy the beautiful contemplative oasis of St. Clare’s Retreat House in the Santa Cruz mountains. The intention for this weekend retreat is to refresh the spirit and deepen our commitment to a regular practice of Centering Prayer. Beginner and experienced Centering Prayer practitioners are welcome. \nCentering Prayer is a time-honored prayer practice in the Christian contemplative tradition that has helped men and women to prepare for\, receive\, and deepen the gift of contemplative prayer. People have been practicing Centering Prayer throughout the centuries\, but it is different from what we may think of as prayer. It is not the type of prayer we are used to\, like praying out loud or asking for something\, or even giving thanks. It is moving deep within ourselves\, in silence\, saying nothing\, asking nothing\, just intending to be in the Presence of God\, and allowing God to be with us. An introductory retreat offers instruction and practice on the method of Centering Prayer and discussion about its conceptual background. We will learn from experienced teaching\, DVD’s and group discussion. We will also enjoy Eucharist\, as well as pray the Liturgy of the Hours (Morning and Evening Prayer). \nYou may register using the link below.

SUMMARY:Eight-day Centering Prayer  Post-Intensive Retreat: God Is Love
DESCRIPTION:God is Love: The Heart of All Creation builds on the works of Fr. Thomas Keating and is possibly his last major published series. As Fr. Thomas notes in the series: \n“Everything in the universe – everything our senses observe and technology uncovers at the highest level of infinitude is prophetic witness of the Divine. The Divine Presence is happening in\, through\, and amidst every detail of life… penetrates all that exists … is in relationship to every part of creation … is trying to move humanity to the next stage of consciousness.” \nDuring this Intensive Retreat\, viewing of the God Is Love video series will be in silence. The retreat experience offers several periods of Centering Prayer in community each day with time for rest\, reflection and enjoying the exquisite nature which envelopes the campus of St. Mary Monastery grounds. Meals are silent\, with the exception of conversation at the evening meal on opening night and at the last meal on the final day of the retreat. \nSusan Komis is the facilitator of the retreat and will be available for private walks and talks throughout the duration of the retreat. \nSee link below for more information and to register.

SUMMARY:Wisdom School: Three-Centered Presence & Transformation of Consciousness
DESCRIPTION:“From time immemorial Wisdom Schools have emerged in times of global crisis or on the cusp of great leaps in human consciousness in order to help shepherd our planet through the transition. While there is academic teaching that goes on here\, that is not the primary business of a Wisdom school; the primary business is to help anchor human wholeness and to work with the core practices that sustain the transformation of consciousness.”\n— Wisdom Waypoints \nWe are indeed in a time of global crisis and amidst a shift in our current structures of consciousness. Drawing on the work of Cynthia Bourgeault\, G.I. Gurdjieff\, Gebser\, and others\, this Wisdom School will focus on deepening presence in our three centers – intellectual\, emotional\, body – and how awakening in them can support us in the transformation of consciousness. We will also explore the practices of self-observation\, self-remembering\, conscious labor\, and intentional suffering as a way of participating in what is needed for the whole right now. \nJoin us in person at the Mercy Center in Burlingame. There will be an invitation to a ‘wisdom way of knowing’ through a daily rhythm with periods of silence\, centering prayer\, teaching\, conscious conversation\, Gurdjieff Exercises and Movements\, chanting\, mindful work\, lectio divina\, and contemplative free time. \nRecommended Reading: \n‘Wisdom Way of Knowing’ by Cynthia Bourgeault \n‘Seeing Through the World’ by Jeremy Johnson \nRetreat Leaders:\nHeather Ruce\, M.A. is a wisdom spiritual director with training in a neurophysiology based approach to understanding the nervous system. She loves working with individuals as well as facilitating groups and retreats focused on learning and practicing the Christian Wisdom Tradition. \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. \nCONTACT\nFor further assistance\, contact us at (650) 340-7474.\nFor more information visit: www.mercy-center.org\nThese are unprecedented times. If finances are an issue\, please email us at registration@mercywmw.org for a learning grant discount code. We want to make sure our offerings are available to everyone.
