SUMMARY:12-Step Retreat: First Things First – Faith in Recovery
DESCRIPTION:Recovery\, the power of story\, in the silence of Centering Prayer \nThis retreat explores the essential principles that formed the first steps of The Twelve Step program of recovery now known as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). As we view and discuss the engaging play\, Bill W and Dr Bob\, we see how the lives of two desperate men\, their families and friends\, and an historic convergence of events forged the foundation of faith integral in their recovery and in the formation of AA’s foundational first three steps. Through viewing\, discussion\, journaling\, and reflection we see how these essential principles formed spiritual practices in their lives and established a program of recovery grounded in faith. During our time together may the voice of our stories contribute to the integrity of recovery’s indispensable first fruit of spiritual awakening. \nRetreat presenter\, Kenny Kohberger\, is a member of COSEW’s Coordinating Team and a commissioned presenter of the 12-Step Centering Prayer meditation practice. His recent course of study at Virginia Theological Seminary supported his research which affirmed the significance of faith in twelve step recovery. “First Things First – Faith In Recovery” is the culminating project of his study. Before attending seminary Kenny had a rich career in the performing arts. Yet his eyes widen and emit joy when asked about his project. For Kenny\, “First Things First – Faith In Recovery” is the creative manifestation\, a crescendo\, of a seeker’s journey. \nThis retreat is for people who participate in any 12-Step program\, or those who support recovery\, and desire to deepen their meditation practice and enrich their spirituality. There will be daily morning and afternoon periods of Centering Prayer meditation. In addition to the play\, we will view a few of the videos from the series “The Contemplative Dimension of the Twelve Steps with Thomas Keating.” An Intensive Centering Prayer Retreat observes the contemplative practice of silence except when sharing at Twelve Step Meetings and during discussion at program sessions. \nPlease see the link below to register.

SUMMARY:Emotional Sobriety Through Contemplative Practice
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative Enrichment Day with Jim McElroy \nBill Wilson\, one of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous\, coined the term “Emotional Sobriety.” He noticed that some AA members with long-term sobriety still experienced troublesome emotional reactions which were caused by “faulty emotional dependencies.” Contemplative practice heals the emotional wounds of our lifetime and touches the deep unconscious\, where all of our real hurts\, motivations and deepest visions lie. This day will focus on using contemplative practices to respond with a new heart and being fully present in each moment. \nThis program will be offered both in-person and online via Zoom. Information on how to access the program on Zoom will be sent to participants in advance. \nThis program will include a morning and an afternoon session of Centering Prayer. \nJim McElroy has been practicing Centering Prayer since 1996 and has been a commissioned presenter since 2002. Jim has been on the leadership team of 12-Step Outreach since its formation in 2005 and is especially interested in teaching contemplative practices to the recovery community. He is a former coordinator of Contemplative Outreach of St. Louis and currently leads Contemplative Outreach’s Welcoming Prayer team and serves on Contemplative Outreach Ltd.’s Governing Board.

SUMMARY:Ubuntu and Contemplation: How an Indigenous African Philosophy Maps Our Spiritual Path to Global Community via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:with Michael Battle\nhttps://michaelbattle.com/about/ \nEmerging from the ancient cultural traditions of sub-Saharan Africa\, the deeply communitarian philosophy known as Ubuntu challenges Western habits of mind in ways that complement and complete the experience of contemplation. \nIn Centering Prayer and other contemplative practices\, we find a path that opens us up to oneness – both union with God and unity with all human beings\, including those who may seem different from us in race\, culture\, religion\, or national origin. As we move into this more connected state of awareness\, it is essential to do so communally\, rather than just individually – and grasping the message of Ubuntu is a big step toward the ability to love our neighbors as ourselves. \nIn this workshop\, we hope to bring together people from diverse backgrounds who share an interest in contemplation. Together we will learn about Ubuntu as we pray through\, think about and practice how to release the natural unity the Holy Spirit constantly offers the world. \nThe workshop is sponsored by Contemplative Outreach chapters in Chicago\, Atlanta\, Colorado\, and Maryland/Washington DC. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Online Morning Centering Prayer Retreat program:  "Ancient Christian Contemplation - Before 'The Cloud of Unknowing' "
DESCRIPTION:Led by Steve Thompson (CONOVA) \nHave Christians always practiced contemplation?  During the first 150 years of Christianity\, most of those who can be loosely identified as Christian contemplatives were ignored as harmless. By 220 CE\, however\, contemplatives were generally considered heretics\, and they were frequently persecuted and sometimes put to death by their fellow Christians—usually for practices too similar to those of the Pythagorean contemplatives and the gymnosophists (the ancient Greek label for Buddhists). \nHowever\, around 295 CE\, the first writer of a history of Christianity\, Bishop Eusebius of Caesarea\, made an exciting discovery in the course of his research. He uncovered the existence of a first-generation community of Christian contemplatives near Alexandria\, Egypt\, who had been converted by none other than the Apostle Mark himself. The individuals of this 1st-century community lived in one-person dwellings called (appropriately) monasterions\, which had a tameion (inner room) in which they practiced a form of contemplation nearly identical to that of modern Centering Prayer. Yes\, Jesus was reported to have said “When you pray\, go into your tameion and shut the door” (Matthew 6:6). \nThis presentation will seek to draw out the full implications of how Bishop Eusebius’ influential discovery helped inspire the massive monastic movement of the late 300s. His discovery can also be considered an important turning point in the reception of silent contemplation as a legitimate Christian practice. \nMorning program will include two sessions of Centering Prayer \nPlease register using the link below. \nOffered freely\, although contributions ($20 suggested) towards our programming costs are greatly appreciated:   https://contemplativeoutreachnova.com/donations

SUMMARY:Abide in the Mercy
DESCRIPTION:The Mercy Center Centering Prayer Program presents:\nAbide in the Mercy: A Silent Wisdom** and Centering Prayer Retreat \n“As the Father has loved me\, I also have loved you. Abide in my love.”\n– John 15:9 \nIn many of Jesus’ sayings we can find an invitation to a deeper contemplative way of being\, so relevant for our Centering Prayer. ‘Abide in my love’\, for example\, can also be translated as ‘abide in mercy’ (rachma in Aramaic\,  the language Jesus spoke). This is the Mercy that surrounds\, nurtures\, encompasses\, and streams through us\, bringing us alive. The Semitic root for this word is womb\, like a mother loving completely\, flourishing and encompassing. So in our Centering Prayer we are invited to abide\, or rest deeply\, in that generative compassion. The word ‘abide’ in Aramaic\, ‘qevah’\, can also mean to wait\, hope for; even to continue\, to endure. But in typical Aramaic fashion where multiple levels of meaning can be found in one word or phrase\, it also means to collect\, to bind together. This collection can be done in our own being\, binding together as an integrated person\, willing to remain fully present in an embodied way\, in whatever state we find ourselves. And it can also refer to our collection as a group\, gathering to practice together.\nJoin us in person at Mercy Center\, Burlingame\, CA where we will gather together and allow silence\, Centering Prayer\, and Jesus’ own language of Aramaic to open us to the limitless depths of Jesus’ invitation. We will also include some wisdom practices of chanting\, movement\, and guided meditation that will help to deepen our Centering Prayer.   \nThis 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 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.  \n**“ May the next years see the increase of Centering Prayer\, and the creative addition of other wisdom aspects that might enhance what we are doing\, or at least help us to do what we have learned out of our tradition\, with complete commitment.”\n					 —Thomas Keating\, in A Life Surrendered to Love\n**For more information on the Christian Wisdom Path\, see Cynthia Bourgeault’s book: The Wisdom Way of Knowing: Reclaiming an Ancient Tradition to Awaken the Heart. \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. Joy regularly offers retreats on Centering Prayer\, often emphasizing the incarnational nature of the Christian path\, and she regularly responds to questions about Centering Prayer in the Contemplative Outreach quarterly e-bulletin. You can find more about her at joyfulfillment.com \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. will be supporting our wisdom school experience through guiding us in daily Gurdjieff Movements. She 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. \nLink to COVID Protocol: https://mercy-center.org/guest-protocol/\nContact Us: 650-340-7474; MC@sistersofmercy.org\nFor more information visit: www.mercy-center.org \nThese are unprecedented times.
