Contemplative Prayer Groups

I love communing with God through the practices of centering prayer and contemplative prayer. On Saturday, the San Diego chapter of Contemplative Outreach hosted a fabulous workshop called, “The Art of Stillness: Reflections and Practical Refinements to Enhance One’s Centering Prayer Practice.” It was my first experience with Contemplative Outreach, and I met some wonderful people. (I feel so at home in a group of contemplatives!)

Contemplative Outreach is an international organization, and one of its main goals is to help people form contemplative prayer groups. For example, through the help of Contemplative Outreach, San Diego now has dozens of contemplative prayer groups. I plan to check out a group that meets five minutes from my house.

If you’re interested in checking out a group in your area, check out the list of Contemplative Outreach chapters. Most major cities have a chapter. For my friends in Denver, Chicago and North Carolina, I did a little work for ya. Click on the following links: Denver, Chicago, North Carolina.

If you check out a group, I’d love to hear about it!

    Centering Prayer is not true prayer. Christian Meditation and Contemplation are sometimes confused with centering prayer. Centering prayer is pagan and Hindu in origin. Please, if you are doing centering prayer, stop because it is not Christian.
