Intensive Centering Prayer – November (online retreat)

November 20, 2020 @ 8:30 am - 12:30 pm

Rooted in the ancient Christian contemplative tradition, the goal of this form of Christian prayer is to foster a deeper intimacy with Christ through the silence and stillness of contemplative prayer.  During this retreat, those who have had an introductory workshop can develop further the discipline of Centering Prayer in order to deepen their relationship with God.

This one-day format will provide via Zoom video-conference the instruction that usually occurs over the course of a weekend.  A reliable internet connection with the capability for audio and video is required.  There will be opportunities for questions and discussion. Prerequisite: Introduction to Centering Prayer.
