"Penny for your Thoughts" - Centering Prayer



We have approximately 60,000 thoughts a day!  Of these 60,000 thoughts many of them are repetitive or cyclical.  This is what is noticed by many when they start doing Centering Prayer.  On February 6th Seeds hosted Jack & Judith Klaverkamp of Contemplative Outreach Manitoba. They taught us how to be present to God in silence while navigating an onslaught of thoughts. Both the morning & afternoon involved teaching sessions along with a 20 minute centering prayer time. For more info on the practice of centering prayer, check out the following link

Over the course of the next couple months a small group of us will be getting together to watch some follow up videos, take part in a communal 20 minute sit and share about our experiences. The topics include: prayer in secret, the discipline of centering prayer, what centering prayer is & is not, the principles & method of centering prayer.

If you’re interested in attending or have any questions, please Andrea Bergman at fanice95@hotmail.com or 324-1778.
