Come join us for a weekend meditation retreat to improve your conscious contact with God. We will explore many dimensions of 12-step recovery, with a particular focus on deepening our spiritual path. If you are new to meditation, you will be given some guidance and introduction to Centering Prayer, a silent meditation practice in the Christian Contemplative tradition. Many people in recovery have found profound healing and growth through Centering Prayer as an 11th Step practice.Paul Witmer is a commissioned presenter of the method of Centering Prayer and has many hours of training in Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness which enables him to introduce several adaptations to Centering Prayer that can be helpful for survivors of trauma. Paul will be joined by Dick Jensen who is also a commissioned presenter of Centering Prayer and has decades of experience in recovery.
The retreat will include some introduction and review of the method of Centering Prayer with special attention to adapting Centering Prayer as an 11th step practice. Our time together will include several group meditation sessions throughout the weekend. In addition, there will be some teaching sessions on the dynamics of recovery and the spiritual journey. And of course, there will be ample time to explore the lovely grounds of the Prairiewoods property.
