You will learn the basic method of Centering Prayer, along with its history and origins. This simple practice will be demonstrated and explained . Following the retreat, there will be three zoom follow-up meetings (1.5 hours each) to review the method, see how it’s going for folks and to encourage participants to join an ongoing centering prayer groups.  For more information, please contact Elizabeth Sammons.
