Introduction
to Centering Prayer
- February 25, 2012
10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
Because Centering Prayer is both a relationship with God and a
discipline which fosters that relationship, this program will
introduce participants to Centering Prayer and its practice.
Input will be provided on contemplative prayer as well as on the
method and guidelines for experiencing Centering Prayer as a
movement beyond conversation with God to communion with God.
Through the opportunity for 20 minutes practice periods,
participants will discover that, although Centering Prayer is not
meant to replace other kinds of prayer, it can cast a new light and
depth of meaning onto those experiences. This program is for
anyone new to Centering Prayer or for those who need a refresher
course in this cornerstone of contemporary Christian contemplative
practice.
$30 includes lunch ($10 non-refundable deposit due with
registration)
