INTRODUCTION TO CENTERING PRAYER

“I must forgive so that the desire for revenge does not corrode my being." -- Bishop Desmond Tutu

Program:  Centering Prayer is waiting upon God with loving openness, fulfilling the

Scriptural invitation, "Be still and know that I am God" (Ps 46:10). Fr. Thomas Keating writes,

"Centering Prayer is a movement, beyond conversation, to communion with Christ.  

It accustoms us to the language of God, which is silence." The workshop will include

presentations, discussions, and the practice of Centering Prayer.

Cost.  $30 (includes program, refreshments  and follow-up sessions
