SUMMARY:Quiet Day with Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina – in German language (Zoom online event)
DESCRIPTION:An diesem Tag gönnen wir uns\, einmal für ein paar Stunden scheinbar nichts zu machen\, wir lassen einfach geschehen. Wir legen die Handys beiseite (falls wir es nicht zum Teilnehmen am Zoom Meeting benötigen)\, lassen den Alltag hinter uns und verbringen die Zeit weitgehend schweigend miteinander. Wir habe Zeit für stille Meditation (Centering Prayer oder eine andere Form des stillen Gebets)\, Meditation mit einem Text (Lectio Divina) und vielleicht auch eine Zeit abseits des Computers in der Natur oder der Umgebung\, in der wir leben.\nWir werden einen ins deutsche übersetzten Text von Thomas Keating lesen aus der Publikation ‘That we may be one – Christliche Non-Dualität’.\nEs sind keine Vorkenntnisse erforderlich\, es erfolgt allerdings keine Einführung in die stille Meditation.\nDer gemeinsame Tag beginnt um 9:00 Uhr und endet gegen 12:30 Uhr. [3:00 am until 6:00 am New York 🙁 ] \nRegistrierung erforderlich bis 12:00 Uhr einen Tag vor dem Event. \nAll times in CET

SUMMARY:A Sacred Pause Silent Wisdom Retreat: A Curated Retreat for Contemplatives Under 50
DESCRIPTION:In a society bombarded with the allure of external validation and perpetual striving\, we often find ourselves caught in the relentless pursuit of relevance\, accomplishment\, and fleeting happiness. Yet\, amidst this tumult\, there exists a timeless wisdom that transcends the ephemeral promises of the world—a wisdom that beckons us to turn inward\, to listen to the Holy One’s heart in the depths of our being. \nDrawing from the insights of contemplatives\, mystics\, and Wisdom teachers\, this retreat offers a space to pause together with others to engage contemplative wisdom practices and inner exploration. Inspired by the teachings of luminaries such as Thomas Keating\, Henri Nouwen and Cynthia Bourgeault\, we embark on a transformative journey to recalibrate our gaze\, redirecting it from the external trappings of success to the quiet rhythm of the heart\, our organ of spiritual senses. \nThroughout our time together\, we will engage a rhythm of guided discussions\, contemplative practices\, and silent reflection that cultivates the inner postures of surrender and receptivity. At the heart of this retreat lies a profound invitation—to unravel the layers of conditioning that bind us\, to relinquish the need for control\, and to trust in the unfolding of life. \nJoin us on this sacred journey of profound surrender to the wisdom that resides within. Come tap into a deep wellspring of resilience and inner peace\, unveiling the essence of our true nature. Together\, let us embrace the transformative power of contemplation. \nMinimum of 25 participants needed. \nFacilitators \nColleen Thomas is a Spiritual Director and long-time practitioner of Centering Prayer who delights in companioning others on their spiritual journey facilitating contemplative prayer groups\, workshops and retreats. Her particular passion is for widening the reach of contemplative practice and teaching to younger and BIPOC communities. Colleen earned her MA in Theology and Art from Fuller Theological Seminary. She worked in television in Los Angeles for 15 years before relocating to her hometown of Washington D.C. where she continues to explore her creative passions while enjoying the close companionship of her family. You can discover more about her work at https://soulcarela.com/and hear her in conversation about Centering Prayer and the contemplative life on the “Opening Minds\, Opening Hearts” podcast. \nHeather Ruce is a Wisdom Spiritual Director who offers Wisdom Practice Circles\, Retreats\, and Wisdom Schools focused on the expansive Christian Wisdom Tradition. She works within the lineage of Wisdom Teacher Cynthia Bourgeault whom she has been a student of for over a decade. Heather weaves her Masters in Marital & Family Therapy and training in Somatic Experiencing\, Organic Intelligence & Spiritual Direction into her teaching and guidance in various Wisdom practices\, all in service of waking up and putting on the Mind of Christ.

SUMMARY:1-Day In-person “Song and Silence” Workshop

SUMMARY:Summer Centering Prayer retreat: Awakening to Oneness
DESCRIPTION:This retreat will include teachings on Oneness and Unitive Consciousness from Father Thomas Keating and Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault along with multiple daily periods of silence in Centering Prayer as a group. We will weave in teachings from Thomas Berry\, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Matthew Fox\, and provide opportunities to experience Forest Therapy and Lectio Terra so that we may come into a felt sense of communion with the living world. This shift in consciousness is vital in these times of ecological destruction and human divisiveness. This retreat will be in full silence with the exception of the opportunity to engage in meaningful reflections together after the teachings. Participants should be familiar with the method and practice of Centering Prayer since this will be a week of silent depth. “Let Love alone speak” – Thomas Keating \nFacilitated by Liz Rees and Mary Jane Yates \n$700 Canadian dollars

SUMMARY:We Are All One - A Centering Prayer 8-day Retreat with Fr. Bill Sheehan
DESCRIPTION:In one of his last conferences\, Thomas Merton reminded us that we are all one. We just don’t know that yet. Our oneness/unity is rooted in the ongoing flow of God’s love that not only brings forth all that is but sustains and is present in all that is. During our retreat we will explore not so much the what of God’s love but the how of God’s love revealed in both the Mystery of the Trinity as well as the Mystery of the Incarnation. Resources referenced: Richard Rohr\, The Diving Dance; Cynthia Bourgeault\, The Law of Three; Vincent Pizzuto\, Contemplating Christ. \nWe will be in silence for meals\, breaks and prayer time. Periods of Centering Prayer will be included in our time together. There will be discussion following each of Fr. Sheehan’s presentations. Spiritual companioning and body work will also be available. \nPre-requisite: Centering Prayer practice\, silent retreat experience\, a desire to grow in your contemplative practice. \nFee: $700.00 —- all rooms private\nRegister online at hsrcenter.com by June 28th with a non-refundable deposit of $50.

We recognize it may not be feasible to come every Saturday but do encourage you to follow along with the sessions\, viewing the videos for the previous week(s) you may have missed. \nWe ask that those who join do so with their camera-on. The Zoom space will be monitored by the facilitator(s) to create a sacred and safe space. If you are not able to be fully present and participatory with your camera on we kindly ask that you complete the session on your own and join us another week! \nClick here to join the Zoom sessions.

SUMMARY:9-Day Intensive and Post Intensive Retreat
DESCRIPTION:This retreat offers two tracks simultaneously: Intensive I and Post Intensive. For everyone\, there will be 3 sets of two 30-minute periods of Centering Prayer daily. The Intensive I retreat will watch video talks from Fr. Thomas Keating’s Spiritual Journey\, focusing on “The Human Condition and the Spiritual Journey”. The Post Intensive retreat has no videos and an additional hour of Centering Prayer each day. You choose the track that works best for you. Any of the tracks may be repeated multiple times. If this is your first Centering Prayer retreat of this length\, we suggest you choose Intensive I. \nLectio Divina will be offered daily\, as well as optional soul-friending with the staff. Throughout the retreat\, we will be in silence. \nPre-requisite: A daily practice of Centering Prayer for 6 months or longer. \nThe retreat will be facilitated by Marty Badgett and other Contemplative Outreach staff.

We end on Wednesday\, August 7 at 11:00am (bag lunch optional). \nFor more information\, contact Marty Badgett at (650) 862-5451 or email him at mbadgettexas@gmail.com. \nLimited scholarship money is available to assist those who would otherwise be unable to attend.
