SUMMARY:Centering Prayer Introductory Workshop (online via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a time of reflection and silence in this presentation of a contemporary form of silent prayer that traces its origin to ancient Christian tradition. The discipline of Centering Prayer is presented as silent communion with God beyond concepts\, words and images. The workshop will cover the roots of the prayer\, the theological background and the method of Centering Prayer\, and provide opportunities to practice the prayer and allow time for questions and answers. The program can serve as an introduction for those who want to learn about the prayer and as a refresher for those who wish to renew the fundamentals. Registrants will receive an email with a Zoom link a few days before the workshop.\nTimes are Central Daylight Time (Chicago). \nPlease see the link below to register.

SUMMARY:The Good Eye Opens: An Introduction to Contemplative Photography (in-person and online)
DESCRIPTION:A Zen teacher observed that the moment we intellectualize what we see\, it is no longer what we saw. Contemplative photography invites a different way of seeing—direct\, fresh perception unfiltered by thought. From a still\, silent\, receptive mind\, mindful photographing opens a richer visual field beyond concepts\, revealing greater beauty\, clarity\, elegance\, and poignancy. This is not merely a photography workshop\, but a practice of cultivating nonconceptual awareness\, allowing the camera to express perceptions precisely as they arise in present-moment experience without distraction or judgment. \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 morning and afternoon sessions of Centering Prayer. Times listed are in Eastern (New York) time.
