Centering Prayer
A Training Course for Opening to the Presence of God
Father Thomas Keating with Gail Fitzpatrick-Hopler and Father Carl Arico

Starts Wednesday, January 13, 2010
8 weekly sessions, $179

Answering a life calling, Father Thomas Keating sought to renew a prayer practice that goes beyond asking for aid or offering praise—one that invites you to enter into a deeper relationship with God. Based on the wisdom sayings of Jesus and inspired by teachings from the classic 14th-century text The Cloud of Unknowing, Saint John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Thomas Merton, and others, Centering Prayer is a method that has sparked the modern renewal of contemplative Christianity. “Centering Prayer does not replace other types of prayer,” teaches Keating. “Rather, the practice gives a new depth of meaning to all forms of prayer.” An interactive eight-week intensive learning and practice program highlighted by four live teaching sessions, the course also includes private journaling, along with online discussions and more than nine hours of audio and video instruction, plus a rich selection of written exercises and information.
