SUMMARY:The Grace in Dying and Centering Prayer FREE Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-day FREE online workshop led by The Rev Tom Ward exploring the “Grace in Dying” and its relation to the Centering Prayer practice.  \nIn her book “The Grace in Aging”\, psychotherapist and Buddhist practitioner Kathleen Dowling Singh recommends “taking the one seat” as a practice to enable us to age gracefully\, and she sees Centering Prayer as one good way to take that seat. In this workshop we will consider different aspects of the aging process as Singh describes them through presentations\, small group discussions\, and the practice of Centering Prayer. \nTom is a retired university chaplain at the University of the South and now spends his days focusing on the contemplative dimension of the gospel\, teaching Centering Prayer\, and leading retreats.

SUMMARY:Meister Eckhart’s Insights in the Context of Centering Prayer
DESCRIPTION:Contemplative Enrichment Day with Fr. Justin Lanier \nFr. Justin Lanier will look at Meister Eckhart’s teachings on the Divine Nature and Detachment/Releasement\, as well as his teaching In Principio as helpful guides to Centering Prayer in subtle awareness and intention. Special attention will be paid to unstuckness experienced through the experiences of “Letting Be” and “Be Surrender” encountered by Fr. Justin’s practice of Centering Prayer. \nThis program will be offered both in-person and online via Zoom. Information on how to access the program on Zoom will be sent to participants in advance. \nThis program will include a morning and an afternoon session of Centering Prayer. \nFr. Justin Lanier serves as Priest and Curate of Saint Clement’s Church\, Philadelphia. He is a retreat leader with a devotion to intensive contemplative immersion practice. Fr. Justin’s reading of Meister Eckhart at 16 inspired his contemplative vocation and study of philosophy and theology\, as well as his entrance into monastic formation in Saint Benedict’s Trappist Monastery in Snowmass\, Colorado. Fr. Justin spent 22 years practicing under Fr. Thomas Keating\, O.C.S.O.\, where Eckhart’s teachings were always part of formation. \nPlease use the link below to register.

Heather will be joining us in person for live teaching\, chant\, and movement. Cynthia will be joining us remotely via Zoom for a morning to dialogue with retreat members about the questions and observations that emerge from our work together. \nRetreat Details: \nZoom Option: Registration costs are $200 CAD. \nIn-Person Option: Registration costs include the program\, food\, and accommodation.
