Quiet the mind
Be still
And watch the breath of God
Rise and fall
In all things.
Allow God’s breath
To be your breath;
Allow God’s nature
To be your nature.

The nature of God
Is to love and be loved;

Your desire to love creates intention,
Intention focuses attention,
Attention illuminates understanding,
Understanding manifest forgiveness,
Forgiveness is the fountainhead
of Love.

Intend to be Love
And know death for what it is:
The inbreath of God.

The Tao of Healing,
Haven Trevino

While Centering prayer (Christian meditation) is done privately most of the time, the weekly gatherings as a group are a time of sharing and supporting one another.  It is a means of accountability, an enormous encouragement to “keep going.” 

Many centering prayer groups follow the format of two periods of Centering Prayer with a short meditation walk in between and one period for the practice of Lectio Divina in the ancient monastic tradition.

The prayer group is also a means of continuing education.  Many view videos or review books by Thomas Keating and other contemporary spiritual leaders. The Spiritual Journey video series by Thomas Keating is an important guide for all on the Christian contemplative spiritual journey

The groups listed below are open to any person currently practicing centering prayer as well as anyone who is interested in or new to this form of prayer.  All faith traditions and beliefs are welcome.

“We wait patiently; in silence, openness, and quiet expectancy; motionless within and without. We surrender to the attraction to be still, to be loved, just to be.” Thomas Keating
