Contemplative Outreach of Northern Virginia
"SECOND SATURDAY"
"A Morning of Centering Prayer and Reflection"
via Zoom
Next on-line program:
Saturday January 10th
9:00-11:00am
You are warmly invited to give yourself the gift of some quiet morning retreat time, joining with fellow centering prayer practitioners for some shared practice together.
This month we will also view a lovely short video:
"Danish film director, Marie Louise Lefevre interviewed Fr. Thomas Keating in 2006 and what resulted was a spiritually enriching and stunningly beautiful film entitled "Invitation from God". The conversation between the director and Fr. Thomas and the beauty of the film’s images serve to express what the contemplative life is about."
*****
We hope you can join us for all or part of the morning. You may wish to bring a journal. The schedule (posted below) is flexible for coming and going (in silence).
