Contemplative Formation II

“The presence of God penetrates us, is all around us, and is always embracing us.”  Thomas Keating, O.C.S.O.

The spiritual journey is never a solitary one. The contemplative, in particular, needs the support of others who accept a similar path of living more fully from and into the presence of the God who is “always embracing us.”

For all past participants of the Center at Mariandale’s Contemplative Formation program, this follow up program of five sessions will continue to deepen the contemplative experience, refresh the focus and intention to contemplative living and prayer, and give the needed support of a contemplative community. At least two team members each session will explore in depth a particular contemplative topic in an atmosphere of silence and prayer.  The weekday overnight experience will include presentations, practices and small groups. Sign up for an individual sessions or all five.
