SUMMARY:Grease Spot Theology: Living It Out in Everyday Life\, with Mary Dwyer (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Grease Spot Theology: Living It Out in Everyday Life\nwith Mary Dwyer\nAn entry into the Advent season\nThursday December 4 via Zoom\n1-2pm ET (6pm GMT\, noon CT\, 11am MT\, 10am PT)\nfree; suggested donation $25 \nProgram description: \nOur beloved teacher\, Thomas Keating\, was known to say\, “If God were not animating us at every millisecond of our existence\, we would be a grease spot!”  What does this really mean? How do we live this amid the ordinary routines of daily life?  How can we live into a reality that is larger\, freer\, and more hopeful than the psychological experience of this moment?  Join us as we explore TK’s “Grease Spot Theology.” \n+ \nMary Dwyer will explore how this understanding can be a radical and practical way to know God is with us as we move through our ordinary lives. It’s an invitation to practice the presence of God in each moment and know we are never alone\, never separate from God. Mary will also relate this understanding to our practice of Centering Prayer and the Welcoming Prayer. \nThis is a timely practice for the Advent season – to know the Incarnation in us\, as us. \nThere will be time to submit questions for Mary to address near the end of the hour. This event will also be recorded. \nAbout Mary Dwyer \nMary Dwyer is a long-time student of Fr. Thomas Keating and has been practicing Centering Prayer since the 1980s.  In the early 1990’s\, she lived at Chrysalis House\, a contemplative live-in community experiment blessed by Fr. Thomas in Warwick\, New York. The community lived according to a rule of life\, and became an incubator of practice and programs in the early years of Contemplative Outreach’s growth.  It was her experience at Chyrsalis House – what she refers to as her “inpatient” or “residential treatment time” – that proved to her that a life of prayer\, consent and practice is real\, stable and deeply rewarding.  Mary Mrozowski taught her that a devoted life of prayer was the real work of life; what we did the rest of the time was just how we made a living. \nMary is currently in private practice as a licensed clinical social worker in the Erie\, Pennsylvania area. Mary devotes her time between private practice and giving retreats and workshops on behalf of Contemplative Outreach throughout the US and internationally. \n  \n  \n
