Nine Month Course:
The Practice and Deepening of Contemplative Living
August 2018 through May 2019
St. Lawrence Retreat Center in Beacon, NY
This Nine-Month course enables one to practice contemplative living according to one’s own lifestyle. Formation is offered in contemplative prayer, lifestyle and activity through,and is presented by Nine Month course staff.
- Deepening our experience of Centering Prayer, Lectio Divina, the Active Prayer, Logging, the “Welcoming Prayer” Practice and Spiritual Reading
- Nurturing the contemplative dimension of one’s lifestyle by exercising discernment, simplicity, forgiveness, integrity and commitment.
The ongoing process of the course provides an environment in which to integrate contemplative practices into one’s life. This integration is accomplished, in part, by opening to God as a community and consenting to God’s presence and action individually and communally.
The course meets one weekend a month from August 2018 through May 2019, at St. Lawrence Retreat Center in Beacon, NY (dates are listed in the link below).
Each weekend includes a review of the previous month’s practice(s), soul-friending, Centering Prayer, conferences, sharing and rest. Each month’s theme is supported by a Spiritual Counsel and Prayer Practice(s).
