Introductory Centering Prayer Workshop
Saturday, April 27, 2024
9:00am - Noon
Carmel of Reno Monastery
1950 La Fond Drive, Reno, NV

The Centering Prayer Workshop will teach a method of silent prayer that is rooted in our Christian contemplative heritage. It is a gentle silent method of consenting to Godʼs presence and healing action within us. By taking time to “rest in God” each day, we open our awareness to the gift of Godʼs presence. Come learn more about this prayer method.

There will be six follow-up sessions on Zoom each Thursday evening thereafter, 6:30 - 7:30 PM, starting May 2nd. The book “Open Mind Open Heart,” written by Fr. Thomas Keating O.C.S.O., will be available for purchase, cash only.

Coffee and tea will be provided. Participants are invited to bring a food item to share.

To assist in planning or pre-register by calling or texting Ana at (775) 315-2553.

I am God." Psalm 46:10

About Us

Centering Prayer

Prayer Groups

We hold several introductory workshops and days of reflection each year. During Lent we meet at Lake Tahoe for a three-day silent retreat.

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.

We have several prayer groups that meet weekly in northern Nevada:
