Seven Day Intensive and Post-Intensive Centering Prayer Retreat
​
​Sunday, August 2 - Saturday August 8, 2026
Sponsored by
Contemplative Outreach of Southeast Wisconsin
​
At
Siena Retreat Center, Racine, WI
“Beginning a regular practice Centering Prayer is a process of spiritual growth.”
Thomas Keating’s book ”Invitation to Love” is his attempt “to provide a road map", as it were, for the journey that begins when Centering Prayer is seriously undertaken, and to point to some of the recognizable landmarks on the journey as well as to its ultimate destination. The regular practice of contemplative prayer initiates a healing process that might be called “the Divine therapy”.
The Intensive Retreat provides an opportunity to deepen the practice of Centering Prayer in an atmosphere of profound silence and community support. (If you have experienced only a weekend retreat, this retreat is for you.)
The Post-Intensive Retreat provides an opportunity to deepen the practice of Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina in an atmosphere of profound silence and community support. (If you have experienced a seven day or longer retreat, this retreat is for you.)
