CONTINUING
Contemplative Outreach is a community of individuals and Centering Prayer groups committed to living the contemplative dimension of the Gospel in everyday life.
Theological Principle # 1
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

Father Thomas Keating encourages us to join a centering prayer group because
...it encourages the members of the group to persevere in their individual practices
...it provides an opportunity for further input on a regular basis through tapes, readings, and discussions
...it offers an opportunity to support & share the spiritual journey

Intensive and Post-Intensive
CENTERING PRAYER RETREAT
March 12-19, 2016
Camp Beckwith
Fairhope, AL
*3 SPACES REMAIN - REGISTER NOW*
"A retreat once a year would deepen your daily practice, especially if the retreat is long enough, like five or preferably eight full days..."
Father Thomas Keating
The Daily Reader for Contemplative Living, p. 58
Retreats offer opportunity
...to take one's relationship with God and one's prayer practice deeper.
... to have time and space away from the busyness and demands of daily life.
...to allow the mind, body, and spirit to surrender to God's presence and action within.
...to provide a valuable tool to aid one's interior transformation in Christ.
