“Be still and know that I am God.”

                                                                                 -Psalm 46:10

Come rest in the stillness of prayer with other contemplative companions, away from the busyness of daily life, and allow the mind, body, and spirit to surrender to God’s presence and action within.

This retreat offers two tracks simultaneously: Intensive I and Post Intensive. You choose the track that works best for you. For everyone, there will be 3 sets of three 20 minute periods of Centering Prayer daily. The Intensive I retreat will watch video talks from Fr. Thomas Keating’s Spiritual Journey, focusing on “The Human Condition and the Spiritual Journey”. The Post Intensive retreat has no videos and an additional hour of Centering Prayer each day.

Lectio Divina and a contemplative service will be offered daily, as well as optional individual meetings with the staff. Throughout the retreat, we will be in silence.

Pre-Requisite:

• A daily practice of centering prayer for 6 months or longer.

The retreat will be facilitated by Susan Turpin, Fr. Bill Sheehan, OMI, and TBD. Susan and Fr. Bill have served within the Contemplative Outreach network for many years and led many Centering Prayer retreats and workshops.

The Retreat begins Thursday afternoon, March 17th with check-in 3:00 -5:00pm, dinner at 5:30pm; ends after lunch on Friday, March 25th.
