Centering Prayer Intensive Retreats
Each month there are three days set aside for Centering Prayer Retreats. Our regular schedule is modified during these days to allow for more times of Centering Prayer and to offer instructional and reflective videos each afternoon following lunch.
There are four sessions of Centering Prayer on each day. We observe complete silence during the retreat.
The following is the Centering Prayer Intensive Retreat schedule for 2012. Retreats take place during the second full week of each month.
