This is a virtual retreat offered via Zoom. A basic familiarity with Zoom is expected of participants.

Freewill Offering: In order to provide a space for prayer for all, there is no cost for this retreat. Free-will offerings are greatly appreciated to help cover the overhead costs for this and other programs. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, your offering for the program is tax-deductible. Should you wish to donate to Centering Prayer specifically, you may do so online here.

Begin your Thursday by praying with others. Centering Prayer is a form of silent, contemplative prayer. Together we will experience 20 minutes of silent prayer, followed by 40 minutes of discussion on a reading that is sent in advance on spirituality or prayer.

“We find that belonging to a supportive community with  other ‘Centering Pray-ers’ encourages us in our daily efforts to be faithful to prayer and/or meditation,” a participant explains. Centering Prayer is held via Zoom in order to include those from a distance.
