SUMMARY:Contemplative Movement: Bringing Your Body into Your Practice
DESCRIPTION:Centering Prayer provides many spiritual and emotional benefits. It leads us to an inner peace and connection to the Divine. In this experiential event we will practice how to bring that peace into your body\, and into your interactions with others. \nWe will engage in Barbara Dilley’s Contemplative Dance Practice. This practice incorporates seated meditation with improvised movement\, witnessing\, and collaboration. Participants will be guided through a warm-up and an explanation of the practice. After we practice\, we will spend some time discussing our experiences. No prior experience with dance\, movement\, or meditation necessary. This practice is suitable for all levels and abilities. We will have a period of Centering Prayer in this event. \nPlease see the link below to register.

SUMMARY:Opening to God's Being and Becoming
DESCRIPTION:2-part Online Centering Prayer Retreat Series \nGod — the source of true joy and lasting peace — is not outside or at a distance from us. God is the very source and ground of our being\, closer than breath. \nAs the anonymous author of The Cloud of Unknowing writes\, “God is your being.” \nAcross two spacious online retreats\, we will explore Centering Prayer as a way of opening to both the Being and Becoming of God within us. First\, resting more deeply in Divine Presence\, and then allowing the Presence to take form in the way we live. \nThis is a 2-Part Retreat Series\, taking place Saturday October 24 & November 21st. You can register for just one of the retreats if you wish to via a link on the registration page. \nRetreat One: BEING: Exploring consenting to the Presence\, rooting into the Ground of Being within. \nRetreat two: BECOMING: Exploring consenting to God’s activity\, the unfolding of God’s life within us. \nJoin for one or both retreats.\nLed by Keith Kristich \nPlease see the link below to register.
