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:The Christian Contemplative Path: Journeying Beyond True Self to No Self
DESCRIPTION:This day offers a transformative exploration of the Christian contemplative and mystical tradition\, guiding participants through the classic stages of the spiritual path—Purgative\, Illuminative\, and Unitive—and culminating in the profound realization of “No Self\,” where all constructs of self dissolve and only God’s Presence remains. Drawing on the wisdom of both classical and modern Christian mystics\, including Bernadette Roberts\, Fr. Thomas Keating\, and Cynthia Bourgeault\, we will examine how this journey leads beyond union to the mystery of selfless presence. Participants will gain practical tools and spiritual insights to support their ongoing journey and how that might align with Contemplatives from other Spiritual traditions. \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 morning and afternoon sessions of Centering Prayer.
