and in your time zone at this time

 

An enrichment series for our community facilitated by our community

 

You are invited to participate in an hour of practice, video teaching, fellowship and faith-sharing; in these weekly sessions facilitated by members of our Young Contemplatives community!  

 

Fr. Thomas Keating passed on to us both the gift of Centering Prayer and his pioneering approach to integrating insights from other disciplines into an evolutionary approach to the spiritual journey.

Part of Thomas’ legacy is a series of teachings that became The Spiritual Journey Series. The program is structured in 5 parts and consists of 100 videos.

This teaching series is foundational for an understanding of the daily living of contemplative practice and the psychological ground for the method of Centering Prayer.

We would love if you could join us on this journey. Our presence in the collective does not simply enrich us but it can also be a service that enriches others in our community. Fr. Thomas reminds us that:

“When we are doing Centering Prayer in a group, we access the contact that each of us has already made with the divine presence within us. This is our special gift to the group. The presence of Christ becomes more powerful because of our respective contributions to the interior silence of the assembled community. The intensity of that reservoir of interior silence enriches everybody at a deeper level than they might be able to reach alone.”
