In the time together...
We will enter into the room in silence, a few minutes before the start time if you would like, and begin with a bell promptly at the designated hour.
​
The meditation will include a brief reading, chant, and/or body prayer, followed by 20 minutes of silent practice—Centering Prayer or another form of silent meditation of your choosing—for ourselves, one another, and as an offering to the Whole.
​
You are welcome to journal, listen in while engaged in another quiet activity, or simply rest in the shared field. Cameras may be on or off.
You may stay for any portion of the half hour, joining late or leaving early. Participate in whatever way you are able in the conditions of your life. Come as you are. All are welcome.
​
Centering Prayer (brief overview):
Find a comfortable, upright position that you can maintain with relative stillness. Choose a sacred word (such as love, heart, presence, release) as a symbol of your intention to be open to God within. As thoughts, emotions, sensations, or images arise, gently acknowledge them and return to your sacred word. The word is not a mantra; it is not repeated or reflected upon, but serves simply as a way of letting go of whatever draws your attention.
