Prayer As a Path to Deepen Your Relationship with God
BEGINNING JANUARY 20, lesbian-owned spiritual recording company, Sounds True, presents Father Thomas Keating in an eight-week interactive, in-depth training in Christian contemplative prayer.
Centering Prayer is a silent prayer practice that can move you toward profound relationship with the Spirit of God within. It is a way of praying that opens the door to the Divine Indwelling—the ground of our being. With Centering Prayer, Father Thomas Keating and his colleagues Gail Fitzpatrick-Hopler and Father Carl Arico present the first online course in this method for deepening your intimacy with God and ultimately consenting to the presence and action of the Divine in all aspects of your life.
A Prayer Practice Inspired by the Christian Mystics
Father Thomas Keating, answering a life calling,
sought to renew a prayer practice that goes beyond asking for aid or
offering praise—one that invites you to enter into a deeper
relationship with God. Based on the wisdom sayings of Jesus and
inspired by teachings from the classic 14th-century text The Cloud of Unknowing, Saint John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Thomas Merton, and others, Centering Prayer
is a method of four guidelines that has sparked the modern renewal of
contemplative Christianity. “Centering Prayer does not replace other
types of prayer,” teaches Keating. “Rather, the practice gives a new
depth of meaning to all forms of prayer.”
Training from a Respected Voice in the Revival of Contemplative Christianity
This interactive eight-session intensive-learning program is highlighted by four live audio-teaching sessions with Father Thomas Keating and his colleagues from Contemplative Outreach, Gail Fitzpatrick-Hopler and Father Carl Arico. If you can’t make one of the live sessions, the audio will be available for download shortly after the session’s conclusion. The course also includes private journaling, along with an online discussion group to foster community. You will also receive over nine hours of downloadable audio and video instruction, plus a rich selection of written exercises and information that you can fill out on your computer or print at home.
Centering Prayer provides precise, direct training in contemplative practice—as well as a treasury of wisdom from Father Keating himself. His teachings, stories, and insights reveal the fruits of fully engaging in this path of complete consent to God's presence and action within. Join him as you learn this simple yet transformative method for taking prayer to its deepest level—and inviting the grace of the Divine to live through you.
