An Invitation to Deepen Your Centering Prayer Practice. Plan to attend this special silent retreat on May 21-24, 2009. The retreat is designed for those with experience in Centering Prayer and interested in deepening their spiritual practice in an atmosphere of silence, solitude and community. The Centering Prayer Retreat is held at the Montserrat Jesuit Retreat House, Lake Dallas, Texas, which is located in a gracious and contemplative lakeside setting, with private rooms & bath, and good food.

The retreat program will consist of periods of centering prayer, daily Contemplative Eucharist & Lectio Divina, a video recording each day on the Spiritual Journey as taught by Fr. Thomas Keating, private meetings with spiritual directors and ample free time for reflection and walking the contemplative grounds at Montserrat.

Please join us -- your soul will be refreshed in the silence!

Persons of all faith traditions are welcome. The only requirement for retreatants is a minimum six months practice of centering prayer.

Registration will begin in early November!
