This retreat offers two tracks simultaneously: Intensive and Post Intensive. All participants will have 3 sets of two 30-minute periods of Centering Prayer daily. The Intensive retreat will watch video talks from Fr. Thomas Keating’s The Contemplative Dimension of the Twelve Steps. The Post Intensive retreat has no videos and an additional hour of Centering Prayer each day. If this is your first Centering Prayer retreat of this length, we suggest you choose the Intensive track. Tracks may be repeated multiple times. Optional: Lectio Divina and a contemplative Eucharist will be offered daily, as well as optional soul-friending with the 12-Step staff.
PRE-REQUISITE: Active participation in a 12-step program and a daily practice of centering prayer for 6-months or longer.
Please speak with the team if you have questions.
