Awareness of God Through Mindfulness and Centering Prayer

Awareness of God Through Mindfulness and Centering Prayer

Friday, September 11, 2026 (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM) (EDT)

Description


Mindfulness is paying attention to what is happening in the present moment, nonjudgmentally and with compassion. The present moment is where we meet God. Mindfulness also helps us become more aware of the wisdom of our bodies. Paying attention to our experiences and this wisdom gives us valuable information we can use to live better.

 Centering prayer is resting in God’s presence in silence, consenting to God’s presence and action within. We experience the fruits of regular practice in our daily lives. These practices allow us to live more connected with God and to more effectively do what God is calling each of us to do, individually and collectively. Come learn about and experience how practicing mindfulness and centering prayer can deepen your awareness of God’s presence and help you live with more authenticity and greater compassion. 

Wear comfortable clothing. You may want to bring a blanket or shawl. If you have one, please bring a yoga mat or something soft to lay on, a cushion or pillow to sit on, and a journal or paper. Please note, however, that it is not necessary to lay down or sit on the floor to participate. Lunch is included. Guided by Dr. Heather Alexander.
