Introduction to Centering Prayer

In this introductory session, you will learn the basics of the Centering Prayer practice, as you enter into a deeper relationship with God and self. There will be some time for mutual reflection on the practice.

Spiritual Directors Tod Twist and Gwen Pickering will be facilitating the retreat, based on the teachings of Father Thomas Keating, OSB.

There will be two 20-minute sits during the retreat. Sessions of group centering prayer offer the opportunity to deepen your relationship with God and self. Enjoy the labyrinth, courtyard, walking trails, and art gallery. Lunch is included.

We invite you to join us to learn more about this transformative practice that brings deep peace and healing to so many!
