SUMMARY:Contemplative Retreat: Five or Eight-Day Centering Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Centering Prayer is a form of Christian silent meditation rooted in the self-emptying love that forms the heart of Jesus’ teaching and life. This retreat is an opportunity to deepen one’s contemplative journey in the contemporary world. The retreat offers two tracks: a five-day track\, recommended for individuals with an established and regular practice of Centering Prayer\, and an eight-day track\, intended for those who have maintained a regular practice of Centering Prayer and previously participated in an intensive retreat. The intensive and post-intensive tracks are available for both the five-day and eight-day retreats. \nThis retreat offers a sacred rhythm of silence\, solitude\, and prayer\, with opportunities to join the Benedictine Sisters for Mass and optional prayer times. Afternoons provided space for walking in nature and engaging in soul friending with retreat facilitators. Designed to cultivate deep interior silence\, the retreat nurtures and awareness of God’s presence in everyday life. A Korean language track is available for the five-day retreat\, making this a welcoming and accessible space for Korean-speaking participants to engage fully in the retreat experience. \nFive-day Retreat $335 $415 $750\nEight-day Retreat $475 $725 $1\,200

SUMMARY:4-Day Contemplative Retreat
DESCRIPTION:“In moments when we simply surrender all to God in contemplation\, God becomes the actor who acts through us. God becomes the writer of our lives\, and we become the pencil with which God writes a love letter to the world.”\n– Adam Bucko \nSharing silent prayer with others in the context of a retreat is a profound source of soul connection with other practitioners and with all living beings. The retreat aims to nurture the soul’s thirst for intimacy with God\, fostering the path of transformation through contemplation and inner and outer silence. \nThe retreat will be in silence and will include two (daily) input sessions to deepen the Centering Prayer method and reflect on the contemplative journey; various periods of Centering Prayer each day; opportunity for soul companionship; and personal time for reflection and journaling. \nRequirement: to have attended a weekend Centering Prayer retreat or the one-day introductory workshop on Centering Prayer and have some level of ongoing practice. \nPlease see the link below to register.

SUMMARY:COC Fall Conference -- in-person and online: ​The Science of Transformation: An Experiential Integration and Day of Hope-filled Practice
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid presentation being conducted both in person at The Center for Contemplative Living in Denver\, Colorado and online via Zoom videoconference. \nJonathan Steele is engaging\, charismatic\, brilliantly creative\, and wondrously present. As one of my senior Wisdom students\, he shares my own commitment to combining classic Christian contemplative teaching with contemporary reference points in mindfulness\, attention\, and embodied awareness. You are in for a treat! – Cynthia Bourgeault \nDescription of Talk: \nThese times call for a need to unify the seeds of contemplative practice–to return to our fundamental essence and realize our shared human purpose as conscious transmitters of faith\, hope and love. In the words of Bede Griffiths\, we can learn to “join the growing Christ.” \nJonathan’s presentation style includes teaching\, practice and unifying the power of gathered intention. His themes focus on the importance of surrender\, community\, service\, silence and the practice of learning to directly sense the inner body\, or inner-man as St. Paul refers to it. Learning to sense the inner body gives us a physiological rootedness where we can stand in a strong\, compassionate witnessing presence amid polarization. \nTogether we will engage prayer exercises that imprint both Jesus’ recollected presence and self-emptying nature more deeply into our being. Most spiritual traditions have tended to emphasize one or the other: enstatic practices (service through conscious presence) or ecstatic practices (service as self-giving) but not both. The integration of the two supports our collective awakening in becoming people who can change the events of our world from the inside-out without our attention getting hi-jacked by manufactured desire. \nWe offer this day of experiential integration and hope-filled practice on behalf of all beings throughout creation and to bring spiritual healing to our lives and\, by God’s grace\, to this precious planet. The day will include a session of Centering Prayer. \n“I do not know how it works\, but when a group of like-minded people committed to the transformative processes are together\, the force of the energy is certainly up a number of decibels higher. You do not have to do anything but be still and let your mind be quiet. Be still and you will know\, not by the knowledge of the mind\, but by the knowledge of the heart\, who God is and who you are.”\n-Thomas Keating \nAbout Jonathan Steele: \nJonathan L. Steele\, M.A.\, is a retreat leader\, spiritual teacher and companion on the spiritual journey. His work draws deeply upon the transmission of the Christian Wisdom lineage and the Christian contemplative and iInner-traditions. In addition to his lived integration through contemplative practice\, study and service\, he leans on the works of Thomas Keating\, Cynthia Bourgeault\, Valentin Tomberg\, G.I. Gurdjieff and J.G. Bennett. Jonathan currently serves as the Devotional Minister at The Church of Conscious Harmony\, a contemplative Christian community in Austin\, Texas. Jonathan also has significant experience working with recovery communities\, utilizing the path of the 12-Steps and implementing the work of Bowen family systems theory. \nHe has previously companioned others in the context of spiritual direction and hospice chaplaincy\, as well as guiding groups on pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago in Spain where he lived over the course of eight years. \nTimes listed are Mountain Time (Denver\, CO) \nClick the website link below to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Guard of the Heart – via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:“One practice to bring the effects of contemplative prayer into daily life is traditionally known as “Guard of the Heart.” This consists of letting go of every emotional disturbance as it arises and before we start thinking about it. This method is more sophisticated than dismantling the emotional programs for happiness because it deals with the whole of life. It expresses our ongoing intention to be with God in the present moment and sustains it.” (Fr. Thomas Keating\, 2017) \nThis class will teach the practice of “Guard of the Heart” (Also referred to as “Watchfulness” or “Presence Practice”) and how it compliments our Centering Prayer\, and the practices of the Welcoming Prayer and the Active Prayer Phrase. We will learn the three ways any afflictive thought or emotional disturbance can be instantly released as it arises. Join us for this enriching and deepening complementary practice. This class will include one 20-minute Centering Prayer session. \nTimes listed are Mountain Time. \nClick the Website Link below to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Reading the Bible like a Mystic
DESCRIPTION:Can the Bible still be used as a source of spiritual enrichment? Some consider the text as a sexist relic of the past or worse\, as something weaponized in service of religious fundamentalism. However\, mystics through the ages have read the Bible not as a “rule book” but as a love letter: inviting them into Divine Union. This retreat combines presentations with helpful exercises that explore the unique mystical approach to scripture so we can incorporate this wisdom into our spiritual practice today. \nThis event includes sessions of Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina. \nPlease see the link below for more information and to register.
