CANCELLED: Centering Prayer: A Healing Practice
Please join us instead for
"Thomas Keating: Centering Prayer and Spiritual Transformation"
Saturday, November 16
9 a.m.-12 p.m. (EST)
Facilitated by Linda Dager Hall
Online via Zoom
“The spiritual journey,” writes Thomas Keating, “ is not a career or a success story. It is a series of humiliations of the false self that becomes more and more profound. These make room inside us for the Holy Spirit to come in and heal. What prevents us from being available to God is gradually evacuated. We keep getting closer and closer to our center. Every now and then God lifts a corner of the veil and enters into our awareness through various channels, as if to say, “Here I am. Where are you? Come and join me.’”
- The Human Condition, p. 38
During this retreat we will engage in Centering Prayer, watch Thomas Keating’s teachings on the emotional energy centers, and reflect on our own spiritual journeys.
Father Thomas Keating was a Cistercian monk, abbot, spiritual advisor, and founder of Contemplative Outreach Ltd. Through his writing and teaching he brought the practice of Centering Prayer to the contemporary world.
