Centering Prayer 3 Day Introductory Retreat: August 2-4 2024
Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer which deepens our relationship with God, the indwelling Presence, closer than breathing, closer than thinking, closer than consciousness itself. This event will combine dimensions of the Introductory Centering Prayer Workshop with those of a silent retreat as designed by Thomas Keating and Contemplative Outreach. It will serve as a beginning for those who have no experience of this practice, as a refresher for those who need it, and a silent retreat for those who are experienced in this way of praying.
Scholarship Assistance is available for those with financial need. Please contact Reservations for application, Reservations@events.stmaryssewanee.org, 931-598-5342.
