Step out of Time: A Centering Prayer Weekend Retreat 

Friday, August 7; 7:00 p.m. through Sunday, August 9; 12:00p.m.

Facilitated by Betsy Meagher, CSJ and Michele Gossman 

Step away from the rush of daily life, and experience a pause that will involve teaching, group practice and spaciousness for individual reflection.  This predominantly silent weekend will include experiences of Lectio Divina, the Prayer of Forgiveness and the prayer that gives your Centering practice longer legs into the world– the Welcoming Prayer. 

The first conference will be a teaching on the basics of

Centering Prayer, and those who engage in a regular practice may choose to participate with the group or begin with more sessions of Centering.

Come to relearn or renew yourself in the practice; come to

experience the richness of group participation in Centering Prayer. 
Experiences of silence, solitude, walking, and spiritual companionship will foster an ever deepening level of interior silence and awareness of the presence of God in everyday life.  Open to those who have had some basic experience of Centering Prayer.

Total registration is$225 when a $50 deposit is received by Friday, July 10, $250 after.  Please register by July 17.Overnight participation is strongly encouraged for this retreat, as it is easier to maintain silence and community.
