Centering Prayer Intensive

This 7 days/6 night Centering Prayer retreat provides an opportunity to deepen one’s established Centering Prayer practice by building to 4 ½ hours of prayer time at mid-week.  During the retreat, one is held in prayer by the sisters of St. Gertrude’s Benedictine community located on the Camas Prairie in Central Idaho.  The Spirit Center offers a quiet setting to support your retreat; including private rooms with baths, meals, daily prayer with the sisters and/or Eucharist, hiking trails, museum and gift shop.

“As silence deepens, it transforms into Divine Presence in contemplative prayer.  This pervasive presence invites us to accept the embrace of Divine Love and the realization of how much God loves us.”  — Father Thomas Keating

Before attending this retreat, you should have an established daily Centering Prayer practice of at least 6 months.
