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.

SUMMARY:Becoming Aware and Releasing Obstacles to Grace Through Centering Prayer (in-person and online)
DESCRIPTION:Mythic membership consciousness invites us to examine not only the groups and institutions we over‑identify with to belong\, but also the beliefs\, values\, family norms\, and cultural patterns that shape us. Through Centering Prayer\, we become aware of the emotional programs through which we seek happiness and belonging. While belonging is central to spiritual life\, this workshop invites us—through silence\, reflection\, and contemplative journaling—to gently release attachments that inhibit grace and open us to God\, freedom\, and deeper relationship with all creation. \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. \nTimes listed below are in Eastern (New York) Time.

SUMMARY:I AM – the sacred doorway of the Aramaic Heart of Jesus (in-person and online)
DESCRIPTION:The seven “I AM” statements in John’s Gospel reveal Jesus’ identity. Through Dr. Neil Douglas-Klotz’s heart-centered Aramaic lens\, they also illuminate our own identity and path to deeper Divine Presence. \nThis Christian contemplative day explores these sayings with a focus on Presence\, belonging\, and connection to God. We’ll engage through guided reflection\, chant\, embodied awareness\, and quiet prayer—listening for each phrase’s living resonance in an unhurried\, nurturing space. \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. \nAll are warmly welcome to rest\, receive\, and rediscover these timeless teachings. \nTimes listed below are in Eastern (New York) Time.

SUMMARY:God of Evolution: From Earth Community to Omega Love — Thomas Berry and Ilia Delio in Dialogue (in person and online)
DESCRIPTION:What if evolution is the arena of God’s presence? This contemplative workshop explores the converging visions of Thomas Berry and Ilia Delio\, who invite a faith spacious enough for science\, Earth\, and cosmos. Berry awakens us to the sacred Earth community and our place within the universe’s unfolding story. Delio\, drawing on evolutionary science and the Franciscan tradition\, proclaims Christ as Omega Love at the heart of an unfinished universe. Through reflection\, dialogue\, and practice\, we will explore evolution as sacred story and ecological healing as spiritual conversion. \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. \nTimes listed below are in Eastern (New York) Time.

SUMMARY:The Body as a Place of Encounter with God (in-person and online)

Through gentle teaching\, guided BioSpiritual Focusing exercises\, and shared reflection\, participants begin learning to listen to their body’s felt knowing\, welcoming the gift of arising grace\, and rediscovering themselves as interconnected\, living cells within the Whole Body of Christ. \nThis program will be offered both in-person and online via Zoom.

SUMMARY:The Christian Contemplative Path: Journeying Beyond True Self to No Self
DESCRIPTION:This day offers a transformative exploration of the Christian contemplative and mystical tradition\, guiding participants through the classic stages of the spiritual path—Purgative\, Illuminative\, and Unitive—and culminating in the profound realization of “No Self\,” where all constructs of self dissolve and only God’s Presence remains. Drawing on the wisdom of both classical and modern Christian mystics\, including Bernadette Roberts\, Fr. Thomas Keating\, and Cynthia Bourgeault\, we will examine how this journey leads beyond union to the mystery of selfless presence. Participants will gain practical tools and spiritual insights to support their ongoing journey and how that might align with Contemplatives from other Spiritual traditions. \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.

SUMMARY:Cosmogenesis: Awakening Faith in an Evolving Universe (in-person and online)
DESCRIPTION:This contemplative day invites participants into the sacred story of cosmogenesis—the unfolding of the universe as a dynamic expression of divine love. Ilia Delio\, who has pioneered this evolutionary vision\, will offer her foundational perspectives as she guides our exploration of creation as ongoing\, Christ as the heart of an evolving cosmos\, and faith as conscious participation in Love’s becoming. Through reflection\, silence\, and shared inquiry\, we will reimagine prayer\, belonging\, and hope within an unfinished universe alive with God’s presence \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.  Times listed below are Eastern (New York) time.
