About this event

A one-day workshop with Sr. Peggy Murphy. O.P.

For over forty years now, the following four guidelines have successfully introduced tens of thousands of people worldwide to Centering Prayer:

• Choose a sacred word as the symbol of your intention to consent to God’s presence and action within.

• Sitting comfortably and with eyes closed, settle briefly and silently introduce the sacred word as the symbol of your consent to God’s presence and action within.

• When engaged with your thoughts [including body sensations, feelings, images, and reflections], return ever-so-gently to the sacred word.

• At the end of the prayer period, remain in silence with eyes closed for a couple of minutes.

Lunch is included in this one-day workshop, where you will have a session to sit in contemplation.
