The purpose of the Welcoming Prayer is to deepen our relationship with God through consenting to God’s presence and action in ordinary everyday activity. The Welcoming Prayer helps to dismantle the emotional programs of the false-self system and heal the wounds of a lifetime by addressing them where they are stored- in the body.
You are welcome to attend, whether you are just beginning the Welcoming Prayer or would like to deepen your practice.  
 
Please join us for a day of learning, sharing, and practicing this simple, powerful prayer.
