SUMMARY:Introduction to Centering Prayer in German Language – Stille finden mitten im Leben
DESCRIPTION:In den 70er Jahren begannen Thomas Keating und andere den Reichtum der christlichen\, stillen Meditationspraxis (Kontemplation) wiederzuentdecken. Aus diesen Anfängen ist eine Praxis entstanden\, die inzwischen weltweit verbreitet ist und das Gebet der Sammlung (Englisch: Centering Prayer) genannt wird.\nDie praktizierte Stille tut einfach gut und kann heilsam wirken. \nIn diesem Workshop wird das wortlose Gebet der Sammlung (Centering Prayer)\, einer modernen Form des Herzensgebets\, anhand vier einfacher Schritte vorgestellt und eingeübt. \nNeben der Einführung in die Methode gibt es die Gelegenheit Fragen und Austausch. Ein Anfang\, um “beherzt” dem modernen Leben zu begegnen.\nDer Kurs ist kostenlos. \n27.9.2025 in Berlin Steglitz (Paulus-Gemeinde Lichterfelde)\, 10-14:00 Uhr. \nVeranstaltungsort: Dorfkirche der Paulus Gemeinde Berlin Steglitz-Lichterfelde\, Hindenburgdamm 101a\, 12203 Berlin.
