Centering Prayer Weekend Retreat

The Embodied Heart: Finding Presence in Daily Life
June 20 – 23, 2019
Join us for a weekend retreat that offers a unique opportunity to explore and begin to develop a relationship with our heart. Through guided contemplative and body-based practices drawn from Taoism and Christianity, we will explore the space of our hearts in a variety of ways and contexts: from the depths of our prayer lives to chopping vegetables to conversation with one another. We will live within a rhythm of Centering Prayer, chanting, Lectio Divina as well as conscious practical work. There will be free time to rest or enjoy the beautiful landscape of the Farm.
For more information, please see the flyer below under "additional information."
