“The contemplative life is an imperative necessity, not only for the religious, but for people in all walks of life, for without contemplation, no person is fully alive, fully free, or fully capable of contributing to a peaceful world.”
(Thomas Merton)
Contemplative prayer and world peace are deeply connected in many spiritual traditions. Centering prayer, a Christian contemplative practice, nurtures inner stillness and deepens one’s sense of connection with God, fostering profound inner peace.
This peace inspires individuals to extend kindness, service, and compassion to all, creating communities rooted in understanding and forgiveness and, thus, contributing to greater peace in our world.
The Weekend will include short input sessions and intensive centering prayer practice as a group.
If you are new to the method of Centering Prayer, you are encouraged to attend the online introductory workshop on the 08th of February as a preparation for this World Peace event.
