SUMMARY:OPENING TO THE UNIVERSAL CHRIST: THE INTER-SPIRITUAL INVITATION OF CENTERING PRAYER
DESCRIPTION:Howard Thurman wrote: “In the Presence of God there is neither male nor female\, white nor black\, Gentile nor Jew\, Protestant nor Catholic\, Hindu\, Buddhist\, nor Muslim\, but a human spirit stripped to the literal substance of itself before God.” \nAre you looking for a break from the busyness of life to rest in stillness and to reconnect with yourself? Are you longing to step away from the distractions of everyday life and nourish your spiritual center? Join this summer’s retreat to get away from the norm and reconnect with your true self and God alive within you. \nThis retreat focuses on Centering Prayer as a path back to the “original religious experience.” Centering Prayer with practice may brings us to the immediate experience of God\, the Divine Mystery\, lovingly present within. \nContemplatives of all great traditions speak the same silent language\, practicing silence in deep prayer and meditation. We explore how contemplation leads us toward greater unity among people with different belief systems and returns us to the original spiritual experience. \nHighlights of the Retreat: \n\nGod as the Ground of Being: Explore God as the very foundation of existence and our direct experience of the Divine.\nReturn to the Original Spiritual Experience: Discover how contemplative prayer brings us back to the primal encounter with the Divine Mystery.\nInterconnection of Religion\, Spirituality\, and Mysticism: Explore the relationship between these aspects and how they unite us beyond belief systems\n\nJoin this silent retreat to deepen your understanding and practice of Centering Prayer\, reconnecting with the Divine Mystery at the heart of all religious experiences. \nLed by Keith Kristich\, founder of Closer Than Breath community. \nLearn more and get tickets for this retreat here. \nEarly Bird pricing until February 14\, 2025 ranging from $437 for double occupancy options to $500 for single occupancy options.
