Finding and Living from Your Center

Cross at side altar
A Lenten Quiet Day, Saturday, March 25, 10 am – 2 pm
In this quiet day we will explore practices that can help us to remain prayerful, centered and present. We will explore centering prayer as a method of being present to God and all that is within us. We will look at ways to develop or refine a rule of life to help us to protect and live out of this sense of presence.

A Lenten Quiet Day, Saturday, March 25, 10 am – 2 pm

In this quiet day we will explore practices that can help us to remain prayerful, centered and present — present to the pain and wonder of the world; to our own deep feelings and longings; to our beloveds and our enemies, and present to God. We will explore centering prayer as a method of being present to God and all that is within us. We will look at ways to develop or refine a rule of life to help us to protect and live out of this sense of presence. The quiet day will be led by Lindsay Boyer, a spiritual director, adjunct professor at General Theological Seminary and contemplative retreat leader. The $20 cost includes lunch. (Bagels and hot drinks will be available starting at 9:30 am.)

For more information, contact Lindsay Boyer. To register, call the Ascension parish office: 212-254-8620.
