Come rest in silence with other contemplative companions, away from the busyness of daily life, and allow the mind, body, and spirit to surrender to God’s presence and action within.
This retreat offers three tracks simultaneously: Intensive I, Advanced Intensive, and Post Intensive. If this is your first Centering Prayer retreat of this length, we suggest you choose Intensive I. All tracks may be repeated.

Advanced Intensive: There will be 3 sets of two 30-minute periods plus one additional 30-minute period of Centering Prayer daily and one session of watching video talks from Fr. Thomas Keating’s later series with optional discussion.
Post-Intensive: There will be 3 sets of two 30-minute periods plus two additional 30-minute periods of Centering Prayer daily.
Lectio Divina and a contemplative Eucharist will be offered daily for everyone, as well as optional soul-friending with staff.
The retreat will be facilitated by Contemplative Outreach staff.
