Event Description
Closer than breath itself, God is present to us, but why do we feel separate? Let Thomas Keating guide us on this spiritual journey with the pearls of wisdom, to access our true divine nature. "The false self is looking for fame, power, wealth and prestige. The unconscious is very powerful until the divine light is shed on it.” Thomas Keating PRESENTER: Christine Bender has facilitated classes of the Spiritual Journey Series for Contemplative Outreach of Colorado and COSEW, including The Human Condition, Divine Therapy, Spirituality in Everyday Life. “I have had the great privilege of going to retreat at St. Benedict’s Monastery at Snowmass with Thomas Keating, Abbot Joseph, and especially participating in the Inter-spiritual Series of Annual Retreats held in Denver, which were the result of the Interfaith and Inter-spiritual Dialogs hosted by Fr. Keating.” Christine is a Commissioned Presenter Introduction to Centering Prayer and a member of the COSEW Coordinating Team.
