“We rarely think of the air we breathe, yet it is in us and around us all the time. In similar fashion, the presence of God penetrates us, is all around us, is always embracing us.”

- Thomas Keating.

 

Centering Prayer is a silent and receptive form of prayer for deepening our experience of intimacy with God, who is always present around us and in us, closer than breath, closer than thought, closer than consciousness itself.

 

This Centering Prayer refresher reviews the basics of Centering Prayer and is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners. The morning includes a guided period of Centering Prayer, followed by an opportunity for questions and answers, as well as suggestions on how to deepen the practice.

FEE: $40,  $30, $20, $10, or full scholarship with no fee. Deadline for registrations is January 20th. 

NOTE: On registration input you can let us know if you have previous practice with Centering Prayer, but no prior experience is needed.
