On Centering Prayer and the Christian Contemplative Tradition
This is a course of study being developed primarily for those who are practicing Centering Prayer. The course may also be useful to anyone practising a meditative prayer form and wishing to ground his or her prayer in study and the Christian Contemplative Tradition. The course is meant to enrich and deepen the experience and understanding of the practice of Centering Prayer. It is an individual programme where student and mentor will work together to meet the goals and objectives of the programme.
The course is an addition to the other workshops and retreats offered by Contemplative Outreach UK and do not replace them.
It is meant to make available another dimension of study, especially for those who cannot attend a Centering Prayer Study Group.
Attendance at the Contemplative Outreach UK Retreats is strongly recommended to all who pursue this correspondence course.
Objectives:
To gain a deeper understanding of Centering Prayer as a modern expression of the Christian Contemplative Tradition.To study some fundamental aspects of the Christian Contemplative Tradition such as The Cloud of Unknowing, St John of the Cross, and St Teresa of Avila
Through this study to go beyond the intellectual level to a deeper personal understanding of prayer as an evolving experience.
