Intro to Centering Prayer

Wed., May 27th, Noon-1:00pm Central Time

Zoom

In this introductory 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 method of Centering Prayer, experience it in a guided setting, and be able to ask questions and share experiences with other seekers.
