The Welcoming Prayer is a “powerful path for connecting the inner consent of Centering Prayer with the outer requirement of unconditional presence in daily life.”
The Rev. Dr. Cynthia Bourgeault.
Our group practice follows the Contemplative Outreach Welcoming Prayer method. The Welcoming Prayer practice is a method of consenting to God’s presence and action in our physical and emotional reactions to events and situations in daily life.
If you’re new to the Welcoming Prayer Practice, please join your first meeting 10-15 minutes early for a brief overview.
