JOURNEY BEYOND THE MIND
…an Introduction to Contemplative Prayer
HOW IT WORKS
Over the course of Seven Sessions, we will explore the foundations of meditation as a contemplative prayer practice through the teachings of early Christians and monastics, along with contemporary voices from within the contemplative community. Each live session there will be a Short Teaching, followed by a 20-minute Centering Prayer sit. The remaining time will be open for Faith-sharing about our journey with the practice. The weekly sessions are intended to support a daily centering prayer practice – two 20-minute sits during the duration of Lent. (These sessions will not be recorded. While your attendance at all sessions is encouraged, you are welcome to join as you are able.)
