So many of us grow up with the message that God is the great Guy-in-the-Sky. This God loves the world but is ultimately separate from it and separate from us. But the great contemplatives say otherwise: God is not distant; that God is the Heart of our hearts and the very Center of our souls.
From the contemplative perspective, the spiritual journey isn’t one in which we get closer to God, but rather about waking up to the reality that we are already one! Join this weekend retreat to explore Centering Prayer as a powerful path to awakening

Through engaging teachings, personal reflection, and the practice of Centering Prayer, we will:
We are not ultimately separate from God. By opening to this truth, we can experience a profound shift in our spiritual lives. Join us for this transformative retreat and embark on a journey to deepen your connection with the Divine within.
