4-Day Contemplative Retreat

Centering Prayer Method (IN SILENCE)

"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.
