Free Workshop “Introduction to Centering Prayer”
2025-03-29 09:00 - 12:00
Are you looking for a way to explore or deepen your relationship with God? You are invited to participate in a free workshop “Introduction to Centering Prayer” on Saturday, March 29 from 9 am–12 pm in the Sanctuary. In this workshop, you will discover a centuries-old prayer method. Centering Prayer consists of simply sitting in silence with God – beyond thoughts, words, and emotions – and opening our mind, heart and whole being to the Ultimate Mystery.
You will learn the basics of Centering Prayer, experience it in a guided setting, and be able to ask questions and share experiences with the presenter and your fellow initiates.
Centering Prayer is based on a Christian contemplative practice first described in The Cloud of Unknowing, written in the latter half of the 14th Century. It calls us to abandon any consideration of God’s attributes and actions, and to surrender to his/her influence in our lives.
It is a very personal prayer practice but can also be practiced in groups. It opens us to God’s presence within and to his/her infinite love and power to heal.
