SUMMARY:Opening to God’s Being and Becoming - via Zoom
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.

SUMMARY:Contemplative Retreat: Five- or Eight-Day Centering Prayer Retreat
DESCRIPTION:Centering Prayer is a form of Christian silent meditation rooted in the self-emptying love that forms the heart of Jesus’ teaching and life. This retreat is an opportunity to deepen one’s contemplative journey in the contemporary world. The retreat offers two tracks: a five-day track\, recommended for individuals with an established and regular practice of Centering Prayer\, and an eight-day track\, intended for those who have maintained a regular practice of Centering Prayer and previously participated in an intensive retreat. The intensive and post-intensive tracks are available for the five-day; only the post-intensive track for the eight-day. The Intensive Retreat includes the human condition teachings of Fr. Thomas Keating. \nThe retreat has two options:\nFive-Day: October 26-30\, 2026\nEight-Day: October 26 – November 2\, 2026 \nThe retreat begins for all tracks on Monday\, October 26\, with check-in from 2:00 to 4:00 PM. A welcome session will follow at 4:15 PM and optional Vespers at 5:00 PM.\n The retreat concludes at 10:00 AM on the final day for both tracks. The five-day participants can stay for lunch on their day of departure with a reservation. \nPlease see the link below for more information and to register.
