JOURNEY BEYOND THE MIND

…an Introduction to Contemplative Prayer

ABOUT THE JOURNEY

 

In this online Lenten retreat, we will explore contemplative prayer and meditation as a foundational practice for letting go of an old way of thinking.
The Greek word for repent is Metanoia – it means new mind. In essence when Jesus cries out “Repent!” (Gospel of Matthew 4:17) the invitation is to change your mind.
To journey beyond the mind is to enter into the heart of God and embrace the mind of Christ.
Contemplative prayer and meditation practice prepare us for this journey.

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.)
