SUMMARY:I Am - The Sacred Doorway into the Aramaic Heart of Jesus
DESCRIPTION:The seven “I am” statements in the Gospel of John are a window into who Jesus is and the heart of his teaching. From the perspective of Jesus’ native language of Aramaic\, these statements can also reveal who we are – and how we can enter more deeply into Divine Presence through the heart of Jesus’ teachings. Drawing on the work of Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz\, Cynthia Bourgeault\, and others\, this weekend invites us to enter the I am sayings through this deeper lens. Together we’ll explore how these teachings open us to Presence\, identity\, and deep belonging in God and the heart of reality. Through guided reflection\, chant\, movement\, and Centering Prayer\, we’ll listen for the living resonance within each phrase. Our time will be nurturing and unhurried\, offering space for personal insight and gentle sharing. All are warmly welcomed to rest\, receive\, and rediscover these timeless words. \nAvondale Presbyterian Church\, 2821 Park Rd\, Charlotte NC 28203. \nMore information and registration: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hDCPDCg1sZPAKlE9MsDCeYEQg_2FoNfWkccusM5unCo/edit?tab=t.0

SUMMARY:Centering Prayer Introductory Workshop (online via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a time of reflection and silence in this presentation of a contemporary form of silent prayer that traces its origin to ancient Christian tradition. The discipline of Centering Prayer is presented as silent communion with God beyond concepts\, words and images. The workshop will cover the roots of the prayer\, the theological background and the method of Centering Prayer\, and provide opportunities to practice the prayer and allow time for questions and answers. The program can serve as an introduction for those who want to learn about the prayer and as a refresher for those who wish to renew the fundamentals. Registrants will receive an email with a Zoom link a few days before the workshop.\nTimes are Central Daylight Time (Chicago). \nPlease see the link below to register.
