SUMMARY:9-Day Intensive\, Post Intensive Retreat
DESCRIPTION:This retreat offers three tracks simultaneously: Intensive I\, Intensive II and Post Intensive. For everyone\, there will be 3 sets of two 30 minute periods of Centering Prayer daily. Intensive I and Intensive II will watch video talks from Fr. Thomas Keating’s Spiritual Journey. Intensive I focuses on “The Human Condition and the Spiritual Journey”. Intensive II focuses on “Divine Love: The Heart of the Christian Spiritual Journey”. The Post Intensive has no videos and an additional hour of Centering Prayer each day. You choose the track that works best for you. Any of the tracks may be repeated multiple times. If this is your first Centering Prayer retreat of this length\, we suggest you choose Intensive I. We recommend attending Intensive I before Intensive II. \nLectio Divina and a contemplative Eucharist will be offered daily\, as well as optional soul-friending with the staff. Throughout the retreat\, we will be in silence. \nPre-requisite: A daily practice of Centering Prayer for 6 months or longer. \nThe retreat begins Wednesday\, March 19 with registration from 3:00 to 5:00\, an opening session at 5:00pm\, and dinner at 6:00pm. We end on Thursday\, March 27 at 11:00am (lunch optional). \nThe retreat will be facilitated by experienced Contemplative Outreach staff. For more information\, contact Marty Badgett at (650) 862-5451 or email him at mbadgettexas@gmail.com. \nIf you are traveling by air\, the Contemplative Outreach staff can arrange transportation to and from the Sacramento airport to the Mercy Center. Please book your arrival on the beginning day for 1:30pm or earlier and your departure on the ending day for 1:30pm or later. Let us know your flight information. A contribution of $25 per ride (cash\, check or Venmo) sustains this for us. \nLimited scholarship money is available to assist those who would otherwise be unable to attend. All of the scholarship money has been donated by former retreatants. \n
