Christian Contemplative Christ Centered Prayer Retreat
Join an intensive (primarily silent)
retreat of Christ Centered Prayer, engagement of Sacred Scripture, optional daily celebration of the Holy Eucharist, and theological reflections
on the spiritual journey.
Under the direction of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ, Christ Center Prayer is a simple, silent practice of awareness within one's spiritual heart center. Christ Centered Prayer distills traditional contemplative practice while responding effectively and obediently to Jesus’ invitation to, "Come unto me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light" (Matthew 11:28).
For those unfamiliar with the practice of Christ Centered Prayer, an introduction will be given at the start of each retreat. The intensive retreats are conducted in an atmosphere of silence, solitude, and simplicity.
