In this hour-long Zoom conversation, Cynthia and David will discuss Father Thomas Keating’s non-dual teachings on unity consciousness, exploring how they can deepen our practice of Centering Prayer and enhance our lives. This is a rare opportunity to experience these two wise teachers and longtime friends of Fr. Keating in lively conversation. Time will be provided for some questions.
Cynthia and David will also be offering an in-person retreat at the Garrison Institute in March. For more information, go here.
