God — the source of true joy and lasting peace — is not outside or at a distance from us. God is the very source and ground of our being, closer than breath.
Across two spacious online retreats, we will explore Centering Prayer as a way of opening to both the Being and Becoming of God within us.
Saturday, October 24
10:00am – 1:00pm ET
(7:00am PT | 3:00 pm BST)
Centering Prayer invites us to stop searching for God somewhere else and instead rest in God— the Ground of our Being, already within.
Together, we will explore:
From seeking God to resting in God.
Saturday, November 21
10:00am – 1:00pm ET
(7:00am PT | 3:00 pm BST)
Centering Prayer is also consent to God’s action within us. What it means to surrender to the activity and unfolding of God within, and how to trust the healing movement of God?
Together, we will explore:
We can not manufacture our own transformation. We simply need to consent to it.
