Recovery Welcoming Prayer Workshop:
Welcoming Prayer and Emotional Sobriety
Wednesday, January 27, 2021
7:00 to 8:30 p.m. (ET)
Dave D. and Jim M.
This workshop introduces participants to the Welcoming Prayer practice, a method of consenting to the Higher Power's presence in our physical and emotional reactions to events and situations of daily life.
Welcoming Prayer is a companion practice to Centering Prayer. Those in recovery have found both these practices to be great tools to deepen their spirituality and live in the present moment. It is similar to “pausing when we are upset” and detaching from the committee that drives our addictions and co-dependency.
This program will be offered online via the Zoom platform. Information on how to access the program will be provided to participants in their registration confirmation email.
Offering: $25
