Weekend Silent Centering Prayer Retreat: Sitting with the Desert Fathers and Mothers

This retreat is the perfect place for those new to Centering Prayer and silent retreats to begin, as well as for experienced practitioners to have a chance to sit with others and experience a weekend of silence and rest. We will gather on Friday night at 7:00 to set our intention for the weekend and then begin our silence after a Centering Prayer sit. The readings for our sits will be taken from the desert fathers and mothers, our contemplative prayer ancestors. We will sit together throughout the weekend, maintaining silence in between our sits and then end with a gathering on Sunday morning at 11:00 to share our experience. The retreat fee includes a private room, meals and the opportunity to join the sisters in Liturgy of the Hours and mass on Sunday.
