 Have you tried Centering Prayer? from House Of Blessings of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, United States for Tuesday, 11 October 2016
Centering Prayer Retreat - Oct 27-30

Dr. Nick Cole & Dr. Catherine Crews

Fr. Thomas Keating, O.C.S.O. is a Trappist monk and priest, known as one of the architects of Centering Prayer, a contemporary method of contemplative prayer, that emerged from St. Joseph's Abbey, Spencer, Massachusetts, in 1975. His teaching on prayer, through the Centering Prayer method, has gained popularity and brought spiritual awakening to those who attended his workshops and retreats and began to practice this prayer in their lives. There are now many centers around the globe teaching Centering Prayer. Several hundred people are certified to teach this beautiful method of prayer. Today I am pleased to introduce to you Dr. Nick Cole and Dr. Catherine Crews, who are going to facilitate a Centering Prayer retreat at the House of Blessings at end of October. Please read more about Dr. Nicolas Cole and Dr. Catherine Crews below. I invite you to explore this beautiful program.
Give yourself the GIFT of a SILENT retreat in the Ozark Mountains as the fall colors begin to put on their dazzling show. This retreat will be anchored in communal prayer and silence. It is for ANYONE seeking a deepening centering prayer practice. There will be periods of Centering Prayer, spiritual teachings on DVD or CD by teachers such as Thomas Keating, Richard Rohr, and Cynthia Bourgeault, and private time for rest, study, and prayer. Optional evening sessions will include a discussion of the false-self system in action, and a 12-step meeting OPEN TO ALL.
Centering prayer is a way of bringing to consciousness the unconscious & emotional wounds of a lifetime (Thomas Keating) and revealing these stumbling blocks as the cornerstones of the TRUE SELF. The 12-step program is a more cognitive way of dealing with emotional short-comings and character defects. Come and experience the powerful synergy of these two spiritual resources. Be still and know. Register
Centering prayer is the keystone of a comprehensive commitment to the contemplative dimension of the Gospel.
