Advent: Our Lady of Silence
In-Person Retreat

Friday,  December 8 (2pm) – Sunday, December 10 (1pm), 2023
The St. Placid Priory Spirituality Center
500 College Street NE, Lacey, Washington 98516

Advent is a season calling us to greater silence. Mary’s silence models a way for us to spend time in a silent retreat preparing for Advent. Silence allows us to ponder and listen to our hearts as we connect and dwell in God’s presence.  In the opening of the retreat we will have aids to help us in silence. In the closing of the retreat we will spend time reflecting on our experience and being grateful for the graces of the retreat. Join us for a contemplative weekend in silence under Mary’s guidance.

As an added blessing, each participant will receive a frameable print of Our Lady of Silence, individually signed by Oblate-Artist Roy DeLeon, to accompany you in your silence.

• $175.00 – Includes Meals and Lodging
• $225.00 – With Spiritual Direction

Contemplative Outreach United in Prayer Day
Saturday, March 5, 2022

A free, globally-hosted 24-hour day of prayer accessible via Zoom. In the global unity of silence as God’s first language, we honor  Fr. Thomas Keating’s birthday (March 7) and the growing presence of Christ among us.

Join in silence and community at any time, as many times as you are able. Each hour will begin with at least 20 minutes of Centering Prayer, followed by an offering from the hosting group, which may include a video segment, the practice of Lectio Divina, selected readings, community sharing, chanting, and the like.

The primary purpose of the 12-Step outreach team of CONW is to deepen our practice of the 11^th step: “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.”   We try to pass on the simple method of Centering Prayer to others in recovery.

Centering Prayer is a type of prayer that has been used over the centuries, but it is different from what we may think of as prayer.  It is simply moving deep within ourselves, in silence, saying nothing, asking for nothing, just being and allowing our Higher Power to be with us.  For those who are working a recovery program, parallels can be found between the transformation that Centering Prayer brings and the process of growth facilitated as we work the 12 Steps. We believe that, when applied as a daily supplement to the 12 Steps, Centering Prayer opens us to the deepest dimension of spirituality.

This half-day Zoom workshop will introduce people in recovery to the practice of Centering Prayer, with time to learn and practice the method, ask questions, and learn about local and national resources for continuing and deepening your practice.

Embracing Living: The Welcoming Prayer
Monday, October 05 – Friday, October 30
An online course offered in partnership with Spirituality & Practice: An excellent way to learn, renew or deepen a Welcoming Prayer practice. Our own Cherry Haisten is one of the presenters of this course. She is a leading presenter of the Welcoming Prayer in Contemplative Outreach and does workshops throughout the United States and internationally. This is a wonderful opportunity to benefit from her teaching.

The Welcoming Prayer is a method of consenting to God’s presence and action in our physical and emotional reactions to events and situations in daily life. If Centering Prayer (or another daily prayer) is practiced for one hour of the day, the Welcoming Prayer is for the other 23 hours. It is a “letting go” in the present moment, in the midst of the activity of ordinary life. It helps to dismantle the emotional programs of the false-self system and to heal the wounds of a lifetime by addressing them where they are stored — in the body.

Practicing the Welcoming Prayer offers us the opportunity to make choices free of the false-self system — responding instead of reacting to the present moment. Through the action of the Holy Spirit, the practice empowers us to take appropriate action as freely and lovingly as possible in any situation that presents itself.

Fee: $59.95 USD

---

This class will teach the practice of “Guard of the Heart” and how it compliments our Centering Prayer, and the practices of the Welcoming Prayer and the Active Prayer Phrase. We will learn the three ways any afflictive thought or emotional disturbance can be instantly released as it arises. Join us for this enriching and deepening complementary practice.

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church
111 NE 80th Street, Seattle, WA
Description: Join Contemplative Outreach Northwest for a retreat to celebrate silence as a source of transformation and relationship with our Creator and with all creation. We will pray together in silence and there will be time for quiet reflection, journaling or walking the labyrinth to deepen your experience.

At the same time, we will turn our ear of the heart to the voices of Thomas Keating and Richard Rohr from their retreat on healing our violence through the journey of Centering Prayer. They challenge us to “confront our inner and social violence and bring it to healing and transformation in a sacred and ecumenical context.” The Taize Prayer Service will complete this contemplative day where we listen to God in silence, scripture reading and Taize singing – simple, meditative songs repeated several times as they begin to sing themselves into our souls.  (Resource Material)
