10am-4pm The Heart of Centering Prayer with Cynthia Bourgeault | Aspen Chapel
Cynthia Bourgeault returns to the Aspen Chapel for a one day workshop, “The Heart of
Centering Prayer,” based on her new book of the same name. Centering Prayer is the path to a
wonderful and radical new way of seeing the world. It is not, as is sometimes thought, simply
an act of devotional piety, nor is it simply a Christianized form of other meditation methods.
Cynthia Bourgeault here cuts through the misconceptions to show that Centering Prayer is in
fact a pioneering development within the Christian contemplative tradition. She provides a
practical, complete course in the practice and then goes deeper to analyze what actually
happens in Centering Prayer: the mind effectively switches to a new operating system that
makes possible the perception of nonduality. With this understanding in place, she then takes
us on a journey through one of the sources of the practice, the Christian contemplative classic
The Cloud of Unknowing, revealing it to be among the earliest Christian explorations of the
phenomenology of consciousness.
