Friends, join me on Wednesday, April 8, 2026 for a free online event that will include Centering Prayer and a conversation about some of the most common challenges we face when we engage in a contemplative practice.
Do any of these statements sound familiar?
“I’m just not very good at Centering Prayer: my mind is too distracted!”
“How can I be attentive to the silence within, when all I notice is how noisy my mind is!”
“I thought contemplation was about finding inner peace, but all I’m finding is inner turmoil.”
So often, we find ourselves discouraged, rather than inspired when we give Centering Prayer a try. As a commissioned presenter of Centering Prayer Introductory Workshops and a long-time practitioner of Centering Prayer myself, I am no stranger to these kinds of discouraging thoughts. I hope you’ll join me and other seekers of the silence within on April 8, 2026, as we seek to bring more curiosity, and less criticism, to our Centering Prayer experience.
This 90-minute online event is free and everyone is welcome. I do need you to pre-register so I can make sure my Zoom account will accommodate everyone.
Please note: this workshop is based on an article I recently published on Substack, called “Above Boats on a River, the Sky.” You don’t have to read the article to participate in the meeting, but reading it will enrich the experience. Here’s the link:
