"Contemplation means withdrawing attention from outward, objective, particular and temporal concerns, and refocusing on inward, subjective, general, and even eternal realities."
~ Beatrice Brutreau
It can be difficult to start and sustain a daily practice of meditation. Meeting for contemplative prayer in the support of a group is the best way to support a home practice. *Please email the contact below if interested in attending a Zoom Centering Prayer Group MONDAY/WEDNESDAY/FRIDAY, 8:30-9:30am (Zoom) Rich Wolf, rich.wolf2131@gmail.com MONDAY/WEDNESDAY/FRIDAY, 4:30-5:15 (Zoom) Mary Ellen Mackay, mesmackay@gmail.com TUESDAY, 4:30-5:00 (Zoom) Maura Hasson, mochabean121@gmail.com Tuesday, 7:00-8:30pm (Zoom) Centering Prayer and 12 Step Spirituality Kevin Noonan, noonk102488@gmail.com & Rich Wolf, rich.wolf2131@gmail.com Tuesday, 7:00-8:00pm (In-Person) John, jfbindhammer@yahoo.com Fillmore, NY THURSDAY, 9:00-10:00am (Hybrid- In-person & Online) Keith Kristich, keith@keithkristich.com THURSDAY 4:30-5:30pm (Zoom) Rich Wolf, rich.wolf2131@gmail.com SATURDAY, 9:00am (Zoom) Rich Wolf, rich.wolf2131@gmail.com Monthly Gathering: The Second Saturday of the month, 9-11am, In-Person.

What to Expect at a GroupEach group has a unique structure depending on the facilitator's leading style. Most groups have some form of teaching and reading, twenty minutes of silent prayer and often some form of dialogue or group sharing.
If you are new to meditation and contemplative prayer, no problem. It can be difficult to sit still for twenty minutes, but after some time you may find it to be a true source of spiritual life. |
