Centering Prayer Groups
After the Introduction to Centering Prayer, participants usually wish to continue to meet weekly. We recommend the formation of a Centering Prayer group to support one's growth in this prayer practice. A Centering Prayer group typically meets weekly. A typical meeting consists of a 20 minute period of Centering Prayer, ongoing education in the conceptual background to Centering Prayer and the Christian contemplative heritage, and an experience-based sharing on the prayer experience and its effects in daily life. Some groups may also practice Lectio Divina. A Centering Prayer group generally remains open to new members as participants often bring interested friends. If the Group has a trained Facilitator, the newcomers can be taught the Method of Centering Prayer, one-on-one, encouraging the newcomer to attend the next full Introduction to Centering Prayer.
