Centering Prayerprepares us to awaken to the gift of contemplation and to Rest in God. It is a discipline of intentional silence, and a way of surrender to the Divine Presence. It is complementary to other forms of prayer.
Centering Prayer was developed in the mid-1970's by Fr. Thomas Keating OCSO and other Trappist monks. It is firmly rooted in ancient Christian tradition, inspired by the 14th Century anonymous, English spiritual classic, The Cloud of Unknowing.
This workshop is for those who may already be practising silent meditation or Centering Prayer, and also for those who are drawn to silent prayer and would like to explore further.Participants will be provided both with the “tools” and the conceptual background to Centering Prayer, and will receive handouts and information about the Follow-up Course, to be run locally.
Suggested donation: £20.00 (This should not preclude those unable to offer the full amount). Parking available at Christ Church & nearby in the village. Tea/Coffee provided. Please bring a packed lunch.
