Part II is a follow-up to the Nine Month Course: The Practice of Contemplative Living. Its intention is to enable the deepening of one’s practice of contemplative living and the broadening of the areas in which we open to God’s presence and action.
The commitment is for one weekend a month for the nine months of September through May, and is staffed by Nine Month Course Graduates. Each weekend includes a review of prayer practices learned on the first Nine Month Course: some time for deepening our relationships with fellow- journeyers, a different topic and presenter each weekend, free afternoon and evenings for silence, solitude, rest, three hours of Centering Prayer daily, and soul-friending (if desired).
Pre-requisite: Completion of the first Nine Month Course.
Offering: $2125 (deposit $625)
