Contemplative Outreach Northern Nevada
INTRODUCTORY CENTERING PRAYER WORKSHOP
CARMEL OF RENO
1950 LaFond Drive
Reno, Nevada
SATURDAY
MAY 20, 2023
9:00 - 12:30pm
The Centering Prayer Workshop will teach a method of silent prayer that is rooted in the Christian contemplative heritage. It is a gentle silent method of consenting to God's presence and healing action within us. By taking time to "rest in God" each day, we open our awareness to the gift of God's presence.
Come learn more about this prayer method.
There will be four follow-up Zoom sessions held on each Thursday evening thereafter at 6:30 - 8:00pm.
Fr. Keatings's book, Open Mind Open Heart, will be available for cash purchase.
Coffee and tea and a brochure on Centering Prayer will be provided. Participants are invited to bring a food item to share.
To register for the Workshop and assist in planning, please leave a message for Ana at 775-315-2553, or email Ana at busyama@gmail.com.

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:
-
A group in Carson City on Wednesday mornings
-
Two groups in Reno on Mondays and Thursdays
-
A group in Gardnerville on Tuesday afternoons
