Welcoming Prayer & Centering Prayer
(All Event Times Listed are Central Standard Time)
Sewanee, TN 37375
This introductory workshop will explore the practices of the Welcoming Prayer and Centering Prayer.
The Welcoming Prayer is a method of consenting to God’s presence and action in our physical and emotional reactions to events and situations in daily life. The purpose of the Welcoming Prayer is to deepen our relationship with God through consenting in the ordinary activities of our day — “consent-on-the-go.”
Centering Prayer is a form of Christian silent mediation where one lets go of thoughts during periods of prayer typically lasting 20 minutes. It is rooted in the self-emptying love that forms the heart of Jesus’ teaching and life. The effect on those who practice it is an ever-increasing awareness of God’s action and presence in the course of ordinary life.
In this introductory workshop, participants will learn the method and principles of these prayer practices and have the opportunity to experience them in a quiet, reflective atmosphere.
