Centering Prayer Introductory Workshop
For over 25 years Contemplative Outreach has been dedicated to
transmitting the living tradition of the contemplative Christian
heritage through the teachings of Father Thomas Keating and
through programs and offerings that support the contemplative
life for those in ordinary life. The primary purpose of
Contemplative Outreach of San Diego is to teach the method of
centering prayer and its immediate conceptual background. For
more information go to “What
is a Centering Prayer Introductory Program.”
Half-Day of Prayer
The purpose of the half-day of prayer is to provide spiritual and moral support to members of the COSD community who have attended a centering prayer introductory workshop and are actively practicing this prayer form. This activity is generally sponsored by a COSD prayer group and is provided in a church facility during a three hour period on Saturday mornings. The format includes two periods of centering prayer and a spiritual presentation with group discussion.
Retreats
Retreats provide an environment conducive to spiritual growth for persons who have attended an introductory workshop on centering prayer. Generally the retreats are three days of silence with five to seven periods of Centering Prayer each day. Personal spiritual direction is provided and a group dialogue is held on the final day.
