The workshop is a presentation of the discipline of Centering Prayer as silent communion with God beyond concepts, words and images. It will include the roots of the prayer, the theological background, guidelines and several opportunities to practice the prayer. The workshop can serve as an introduction for those who want to learn about the prayer or as a refresher for those who wish to renew the fundamentals of the prayer. |

The 90 minute sessions consist of a short video, a 20-minute centering prayer period and end with a Q&A session. The follow up sessions are conducted by a facilitator trained by Contemplative Outreach. |

Centering Prayer is an effort to renew the teaching of the Christian tradition of contemplative prayer. It is a method of preparing for the gift of contemplation where “contemplative prayer is a process of interior transformation, a conversation initiated by God and leading, if we consent, to divine union.” Thomas Keating, OCSO |
