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:Centering Prayer: Lectio Divina and the Four Senses of Scripture
DESCRIPTION:This “Praying Holy Scripture” retreat offers Centering Prayer periods plus presentations based upon Fr. Thomas Keating’s teachings on the deepening levels of faith: the Four Senses of Scripture – literal\, allegorical\, behavioral/moral\, and unitive senses. The presentations teach a contemplative way of listening to and reading Scripture known as the ancient monastic practice of Lectio Divina. During the retreat\, one will experience the interplay of the silence of Centering Prayer and Praying Holy Scripture combined with the rhythm of this Episcopal Benedictine monastic community’s worship and prayer life including Holy Eucharist. This contemplative retreat welcomes those comfortable with silence and yearning to learn this ancient way of praying rather than studying Holy Scripture. \nCheck-in is from 2:00 to 5:00 pm Tuesday. Vespers begins at 5:00. Supper then follows. Orientation begins at 6:45 pm. The retreat concludes with noon meal on Friday. (Daily Holy Eucharist is available at 9:00 a.m.). \nThe suggested donation for the retreat is $445. The retreat fee includes a single room and all meals. Shared single occupancy bathrooms in the hallways. To register\, please contact our Guesthouse Office by phone at +1-845-384-6660\, ext. 3002 or email guesthouse@hcmnet.org. The guesthouse office is open from Tuesday till Friday. \nLeslee Anne Terpay: As a Contemplative Outreach Commissioned Presenter of Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina\, Leslee shares Fr. Thomas Keating’s teachings on the Christian Spiritual Journey to Love in workshop and retreat settings. She is part of the Service Teams that steward Fr. Thomas’s teaching for serving Intensive Retreats and Lectio Divina. She is a spiritual director in Lone Tree\, Colorado and a graduate of The Center for Action and Contemplation Living School.

SUMMARY:Exploring the Magic and Medicine of the Psalms: A Common Heart Retreat
DESCRIPTION:On the Path of Love\, we draw upon a living well of spiritual practices that foster healing\, wholeness\, generosity\, and deep connection with ourselves and all Creation. Remembering our sacred interdependence allows love to thrive despite its challenges. The Psalms\, a shared legacy of Jewish and Christian traditions\, offer ancient wisdom ready to be renewed for today. In this retreat\, we explore eight Psalmic themes — Gratefulness\, Praise\, Lament\, Supplication\, Exaltation\, Revelation\, Comfort\, and Encouragement— as Interspiritual pathways of insight\, resilience\, and healing through reflection and shared practice together. \nThe retreat may be attended in-person or online. \nTimes listed below are Eastern (New York) time.
