SUMMARY:The Spiritual Journey Program for Young Contemplatives (weekly) – via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Join the COL Young Contemplatives community for weekly gatherings exploring the essential teachings of Thomas Keating. \nThe Spiritual Journey program is a series of teachings structured in five parts. The program consists of 100 videos\, all of which are accessible online.\nThese teachings provide a backbone for the contemplative life and the psychological background for the work of Centering Prayer in the formation of our spiritual lives. \nBeginning Saturday\, July 13th 2024\, facilitators from our Young Contemplatives community will hold space for our 40s and under community to journey together through the program. \nEach Saturday for one hour\, 10:30am – 11:30am (Eastern Time US) a facilitator will guide a small group through the program. The hour will consist of a short Centering Prayer sit\, viewing of the video teaching from the week’s session\, followed by a time of faith sharing and discussion around the week’s themes. \nThese are open\, drop-in meetings. No pre-registration is required. Anyone is welcome to join as often as possible! 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.
