Centering Prayer Group Practice

Mary & Joseph Retreat Center

Centering Prayer is a practice to foster our relationship with God. It is a movement beyond conversation to communion and union with God. It prepares us for the gift of contemplation. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer or meditation; rather it casts new light and depth of meaning on all of the various ways we open ourselves to new levels of consciousness. Gather with us to practice. ALL are welcome to join in this experience. Greg Johnson is a lay contemplative and computer scientist by profession. He has been active in contemplative practice for over 30 years. Herb Kaighan is a retired professional who has been on a spiritual path since his youth. He leads workshops & retreats and is a trained spiritual director. He has authored 4 books on spiritual awakening & meditation.

Event Series Grateful Gatherings

Grateful Gatherings

Valeria Chow

The Power of Living Gratefully ~ Experience, deepen, and share the power of living gratefully. Bring gratitude to life… We hold grateful living as an engaged mindfulness practice, grounded in both wisdom and science, which supports our ability to see the wonder and opportunity in every moment, and motivates us to act boldly with love, generosity, and respect towards one another, ourselves, and the Earth. Our Grateful Gatherings will be held on the first Tuesday of each month in 2024. Gatherings will be in person at Mary & Joseph Retreat Center (check kiosk upon arrival for meeting room) and by Zoom.

FORGIVENESS: To Release & To Be Released Dec

Fred Luskin, PhD & Herb Kaighan

*Remote Via Zoom* Fred Luskin, PhD and Herb K. share their separate knowledge and experience of Secular and Spiritual ingredients! Bill Wilson (cofounder of AA) discusses forgiveness - he calls it “letting go of resentment”. It’s not done to please others, but in the interest of our FREEDOM. This workshop is on how to FORGIVE and will focus on a process of releasing them … and … being released ourselves. This will be a practical WORK-shop. Bring your questions, prepare to confront your unwillingness and to respond to your willingness. Together we’ll share our experience and dialogue about being delivered to FREEDOM.
