SUMMARY:"Contemplative Wisdom and the Word" — In-Person Advent Programs in Hawaii
DESCRIPTION:Friends on the big island of Hawai’i! Please join with me and the congregations of St. James’ and St. Columba’s Episcopal Churches for a special 3-week program for Advent reflection and prayer. \nOur theme is “Contemplative Wisdom and the Word.” I’ll be drawing on material from my most recent book\, Read the Bible Like a Mystic\, pairing it with reflections appropriate for the holy season of Advent. The program takes place on Monday evenings (December 1\, 8\, and 15) I’ll be at St. Columba’s Episcopal Church in Pa’auilo; and on Wednesday evenings (December 3\, 10 and 17) I’ll be at St. James’ Episcopal Church in Waimea. It will be the same program both nights: drawing from my book Read the Bible Like a Mystic but with a special eye to the rhythm of contemplative waiting and gentle rest that forms the character of the Advent season. The Wednesday night presentations will be live-streamed\, so if you are not on the big island\, you can still join in. Visit www.stjameshawaii.org or www.stcolumbahawaii.org for more information. \nThese programs are free and open to the public; donations to support the ministries of St. James’ and St. Columba’s are optional but will be gratefully received. I hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:In-Person Class: Christian Prayer and Eastern Meditation
DESCRIPTION:For more information or to register\, click here. \nBede Griffiths went to India. Thomas Merton befriended the Dalai Lama. Jesuit priests like Robert Kennedy\, Ruben Habito and Thomas Hand have all incorporated Zen meditation into their Christian practice. \nAgain and again\, Christian spiritual seekers and leaders have found inspiration and insight from a variety of eastern meditative practices. Perhaps the great invitation for our time\, at least for Christians\, is to find creative and positive ways to maintain our identity as followers of Jesus Christ\, while also celebrating and learning from the wisdom of the world’s meditative traditions. \nThis five week program will combine meditation practice with reflections on how Christianity and eastern practice can be brought together in a way that respects the beauty and integrity of each tradition. We will learn several different meditation practices and reflect together on how such practices can be appropriately integrated into the Christian life. \nStudents from all faiths or wisdom backgrounds are welcome\, and at all level of meditation practice\, beginner to advanced level. \nMeets on Wednesday  evenings for five weeks\, from October 4 to November 8\, 2023 (NO CLASS on October 18)\, from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm at Ignatius House. \nCost: $50\, inclusive of all instructional materials. Click here to register. \nCarl McColman has been a practitioner of Christian forms of meditation for over 30 years\, having learned meditation from the Shalem Institute\, which integrates classical Christian spirituality with practices inspired by Tibetan Buddhism. He is a spiritual director\, retreat leader\, nationally known author\, and a commissioned presenter of Centering Prayer workshops.

SUMMARY:Pray Without Ceasing: An Introduction to Christian Contemplation and Mystical Spirituality
DESCRIPTION:Could your new year’s resolution be\, “This year I want to grow spiritually?” If so\, this course — meeting six Thursday evenings from January 30 to March 5 — could help you get the year off to a great start! \nMysticism. Contemplation. Union with God. These are big concepts and it’s tempting to think that they are just for saints or other advanced souls. But the Catholic faith proclaims that prayer — and the joy of an intimate friendship with God — is for everyone. The great mystics and saints of our faith have given us many spiritual practices and wisdom to help us all grow closer to God through prayer\, meditation\, and contemplation. \nThis six week course will introduce you to some of the great Catholic mystics\, their teachings\, and their instructions for how even the most ordinary person can grow in the life of prayer and spirituality. No prior knowledge of mysticism is required\, and you do not need to be a monk or a nun — or even particularly “holy” — to attend. All that is required is a willingness to learn and to pray. \nPre-registration required. Space is limited to register early. To register\, click here (Be sure to select “More Theology: Pray without Ceasing” under “Program/Class”).
