The Word of God, in Silence and Sound:
Centering Prayer in the Context of the Divine Office

Contemplative Immersion Retreat
September 16-18, 2022
Fr. Justin Lanier

This contemplative immersion retreat will flow through periods of centering prayer, walking meditation, teaching, and the simple chant of the Divine Office. The seasons of the night and day will be marked with the corresponding praying the Offices of Matins, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, None, Vespers, and Compline as an expression and support of our intensive Centering Prayer weekend. There will be a basic instruction in chant at the start of our retreat, and no prior musical training or experience is required.

Offering: $425, includes accommodations and meals
