"In the stillness of Centering Prayer, we learn to rest in God, not as an idea, but as a living presence that transforms us from within."
(Cynthia Bourgeault)
Sharing silent prayer in the context of a retreat offers a profound experience of soul-to-soul connection — with fellow practitioners and with all living beings.
This 4-day retreat is designed to nourish the soul’s deep longing for intimacy with God, inviting participants into a transformative journey through contemplation and the sacred practice of silence.
Held entirely in silence, the retreat includes:
- Two daily input sessions to deepen understanding of the Centering Prayer method and reflect on the contemplative path;
- Multiple periods of Centering Prayer each day;
- Opportunities for soul sharing with the guide (if desired);
- Personal time for reflection and journaling.
It is recommended that: Participants have attended either a weekend Centering Prayer retreat or a one-day introductory workshop and maintain some level of ongoing practice.
