SUMMARY:The Seven Mansion of the Interior Castle:  Teresa of Avila – via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:The Seven Mansions of the Interior Castle — Teresa of Avila\n                                Presented by Susan Komis\n                 Virtual Centering Prayer Retreat via Zoom \nCo-sponsored by Contemplative Outreach of New Orleans\n                  and the School for Contemplative Living \nJoin us in exploring the Seven Mansions of Teresa of Avila’s Interior Castle.\nTeresa is one of Christianity’s great mystics and teachers.  The Seven Mansions of the Interior Castle is her final work\nand one of the most profound literary works on contemplation and experiential mysticism.  Teresa wrote The Interior\nCastle to describe seven mansions of the inner life with God.  Prayer stood at the center of Teresa’s teaching. Her fidelity\nto prayer was a means of deepening her intimate relationship with God.  She considered a life of prayer in terms of love. \nTogether we will reflect on the light of Teresa’s timeless insights into the human soul\, its journey towards intimate\nrelationship with God\, and how Teresa’s teaching is relevant to our personal contemporary spiritual journey today. \nThere will be Centering Prayer sessions\, the presentations\, Q & A opportunities\, and small group gatherings via\nbreakout rooms.

SUMMARY:Discernment: Deep Listening and the Presence of God - via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Discernment is more than exploring what I want or what others want of me\, rather what does God want of me? Contemplative discernment sorts\, questions\, senses\, intuits movements of grace with a disposition of complete confidence and surrender to God – a dialogue of deep wills\, borne of love and choice — so that we are animated in fullness of being and action by the Holy Spirit. We learn to step forth in courage\, to take risks in our choices that may lift us from our routines and open to us the door of a new being\, a new reality. \nSince the day you were born\nI have carried you along.\nI will still be the same\nwhen you are old and gray\nand I will take care of you.\nI created you. I will carry you\nand always keep you safe.\n– Isaiah 46:3-4 \nIncludes: \nIntroduction and opening time of prayerful centering\nTwo sessions with sharing and Q&A\nA break\nA time of Centering Prayer \nPlease register using the link below. \nPresenter: \nMary Anne Best is a member and trustee of The Church of Conscious harmony\, a contemplative Christian community in Austin\, Texas\, where she also serves as Abbess of The Journey School\, a school of transformative spiritual psychology and practice. Previously\, for many years\, she served as development director for Contemplative Outreach\, Ltd and worked with Thomas Keating in the last 10 years of his life to edit and produce new books and videos on the spiritual life. She is a mother and grandmother to two beloved grandchildren.

SUMMARY:Contemplative Group Spiritual Direction via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative Group Spiritual Direction via Zoom\nA conversation with spiritual directors Carol Fryer and Lindsay Boyer\nSaturday\, March 26th\, 2pm to 3:30pm Eastern Time \nGroup spiritual direction can be a wonderful experience for contemplative practitioners who would like to go deeper into their practice. It can be easily adapted to the Zoom format. Spiritual director Carol Fryer will describe her experience of leading group spiritual direction on Zoom with participants from Zoom Centering Prayer groups. She will present her format and group guidelines and answer questions about how to get started and how spiritual directors can collaborate with Centering Prayer facilitators to set up spiritual direction groups. Our hope is to provide a template that might be helpful for people who are considering doing group spiritual direction online\, encourage those who are experienced at group spiritual direction but are hesitant about using Zoom\, and provide a forum for others who may already be doing group spiritual direction online and have wisdom to offer the Contemplative community. A representative of the Shalem group spiritual direction program will be on hand to answer questions about their program. We will begin with 10 minutes of Centering Prayer. \nRegister here: https://form.jotform.com/220324228490146 \nAbout Rev. Carol E. A.
