Centering Prayer As an 11th Step Practice
October 17-19, Sunday 6 pm until Tuesday after lunchThis retreat is designed for anyone in a 12-step recovery program. Centering Prayer is a simple method of prayer rooted in ancient Christian practice that opens us to God’s presence and divine healing. For those who practice the 12 Steps of any 12-Step program, striking parallels can be found between the process that Centering Prayer encourages and the process initiated in the practice of the 12 Steps – the process of human transformation.
During the retreat you will learn the four simple steps of Centering Prayer, have an opportunity to practice the prayer, participate in small group discussions, and learn the significance it will have on your daily life.
