About Us
Centering Prayer

This is a group focused on the contemplative dimension of life and Centering Prayer.

 

We welcome you to community if you have attended an introductory workshop on Centering Prayer or if you are visiting the northern Nevada area and have an established Centering Prayer practice. We hold several introductory workshops each year.

Centering Prayer follows Jesus's teaching (Matthew 6:6): "If you want to pray, enter your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you." Centering Prayer is resting in God.

 

Centering Prayer is a receptive method of silent prayer that prepares us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer.
