SUMMARY:Removing Obstacles for Transformation...Moving Toward Union
DESCRIPTION:“When we are not thinking\, analyzing\, or planning\, and place ourselves in the presence of God we open ourselves to the content of the unconscious.”\n– Thomas Keating \nWhat keeps us from the presence that we know is always with and through us? We will create the space in meditative exercise and silence for the work of the Divine Therapist to meet the obstacles and let go. Optional group lectio allows God to speak to us in the depth of prayer without words. This inner work benefits all of creation. \nLocated at Siena Center in Racine Wisconsin on the shores of Lake Michigan \nPlease see the link below.

SUMMARY:I AM – the sacred doorway of the Aramaic Heart of Jesus (in-person and online)
DESCRIPTION:The seven “I AM” statements in John’s Gospel reveal Jesus’ identity. Through Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz’s heart-centered Aramaic lens\, they also illuminate our own identity and path to deeper Divine Presence. \nThis Christian contemplative day explores these sayings with a focus on Presence\, belonging\, and connection to God. We’ll engage through guided reflection\, chant\, embodied awareness\, and quiet prayer—listening for each phrase’s living resonance in an unhurried\, nurturing space. \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. \nAll are warmly welcome to rest\, receive\, and rediscover these timeless teachings. \nTimes listed below are in Eastern (New York) Time.
