CONTINUING

We affirm our solidarity with the contemplative dimension of other religious and sacred traditions.
Theological Principle# 10


So that they may all be one; just as You, Father, are in me and I in you, may they also be one in us.

John 17: 21

CONTEMPLATION

Gratitude, self-surrender, enjoyment of the Divine presence - these are the

dispositions that make you a contemplative. The experience of God's presence and action within you leads to a greater and greater capacity to see this action in everybody else and throughout the cosmos. It creates a marvelous open-mindedness toward all the truth. God then has the freedom to enrich you as he wills and as he has planned in

incredible detail.

Fr. Thomas Keating

CALLING

LIVING FLAME 1
A FORMATION PROGRAM
Sept. 2014~May 2015

The program is designed for those with an established contemplative practice who seek to deepen & enrich their understanding of the prayer & their spiritual journey. Participants who are familiar with Fr. Thomas Keating's writings and video recordings will get the most from this experience. An intention to attend all seven sessions (held on 2nd Saturday of month) is important.

The individuals who will travel to our area to teach Living Flame have been trained and commissioned by Contemplative Outreach, Ltd. to teach this program.

COST--$350
