"We are faced with two critical challenges: to engage the world around us and to embrace the contemplative within."
-Thomas Merton, Seeds of Contemplation

Event:	Nourishing Your Spiritual Heart: Exploring Contemplative Ways of Praying
Date:	3/13/2010
Details:	“The loving gaze which finds God everywhere …” – Br. Lawerence Contemplative prayer involves waking up, listening and learning to be present for the Holy one who dwells within us and surrounds us in all of creation. Contemplation is the practice of simple loving awareness of the presence of God. A gift from God, we merely have to say ‘yes.’ During this Lenten season, come explore and experience varied contemplative ways of praying and let yourself be guided toward the contemplative practices God intends for you. Enter into a contemplative preparation for the workshop by staying over on Friday night. Come for dinner at 6:00 pm, followed by a prayer experience and a restful night of silence. Presenter: Gaynell Cronin Friday, March 12, 6:00 pm – Saturday, March 13, 10:00 am – 3:30 pm Fee: $65; $130 with dinner and overnight stay on Friday [Online registration form]
