When we answer the invitation to silence and Centering Prayer; we begin our practice, then we may start to experience the unloading of the unconscious. We talk about the grounding of the false-self in the energy centers of safety/security, affection/esteem, power/control; and we even share experiences of the dark nights. What we don’t spend much time expressing is how these practices have altered our lives in a positive way. This year’s theme of: “Celebrating the gifts of Spiritual Journey; the gift of Fr Thomas and the gifts of Centering Prayer” is an attempt to do just that; celebrate what this great man has done, and how the practice of Centering Prayer has manifested in “your” life.
Join your local contemplative community in a special day of world-wide prayer, fellowship, enrichment and reflection. We have entered a period without our beloved founder, Fr. Thomas Keating, and a restructuring of Contemplative Outreach, Ltd. Change is in the air. The breath of the Holy Spirit is upon us. Your presence at this gathering means so very much.
Light refreshments will be served.
Suggested donation is $15 and proceeds are shared with the international office of Contemplative Outreach, Ltd.
