August 26
Registration for this event is now closed.
“At a time in our Christian life when the factional extremes seem intent on fighting each other to death while the rest of the world goes its way in massive indifference, I know from my own experience that there is something in this prayer that can restore harmony, dignity, and depth to our lived Christian community. It is this, more than anything else that I wish to share with you.” (p. xiv, Center Prayer and Inner Awakening by Cynthia Bourgeault)
Event Overview
We welcome you into this timely invitation to work with Cynthia Bourgeault’s Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening in which we will delve into the tradition and method of contemplative Christian prayer practice.
In our 4-month Tuesday Wisdom Practice Book Circle we will intentionally cultivate a Wisdom way of knowing through:
- Grounding in the practices of a Wisdom Circle
- Supportive group discussions facilitated by seasoned Wisdom practitioners examining a few chapters a month
- Mindful attentional practices and Inner Tasks
- Meditation
- Body movements and sacred gesture
This Wisdom Practice Book Circle is designed for seekers who want to cultivate a deeper connection with the Wisdom tradition which lies at the headwaters of all sacred paths. As we come together in community, seeking inspiration and practices for our awakening, we will leave with a felt sense of our deepening presence and how we can be of service in the world.
