Using the wisdom of Thomas Keating's writing on the gentle practice of centering prayer, come and experience a weekly retreat into silence in a small group setting.
it is recommended that you have taken the introduction to contemplative prayer through the Contemplative Outreach of Greater Vancouver, but all are welcome regardless of experience.
The group begins with a briefe check in, sits in silence for 20 minutes, then uses the lectionary reading to engage in Lectio Divina for those who are interested in staying for that.
Participants are also invited to come and walk the labyrinth before or after centering prayer.
For more information about the benefits of centering prayer and or lectio divina visit the COGV Website (or do a google search). For information on the Labyrinth at Lynn Valley United, visit the labyrinth page, visit the Labyrinth Society website (or do a google search).
