Centering Prayer, an 11th Step Practice

Event Description

THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR PEOPLE IN TWELVE-STEP RECOVERY PROGRAMS “Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood him, praying only for knowledge of his will for us the power to carry that out.” We have found centering prayer to be a meaningful method for our daily 11th step meditation practice. To share this method with others in 12-step recovery, we are offering this workshop to teach participants about the practice of centering prayer. In addition to the workshop on September 23rd, registration includes continuing sessions on the four Tuesday evenings following the workshop. These optional sessions will each last for about an hour and will allow workshop participants to join us to: 1) practice centering prayer together, 2) learn more about the prayer practice and 3) ask questions. These continuing sessions will be held on Tuesday September 26, October 3, 10 and 17 from 7pm-8pm CT. As we consent to God’s presence and action within us through the Centering Prayer practice, we open ourselves to the exact healing we most need.
