Contemplative Outreach of Phoenix offers silent intensive retreats to those who are interested in renewing and deepening their relationship with God through Centering Prayer in a community setting and wrapped in an atmosphere of profound silence.
The retreat is open to all who have a 6-month centering prayer practice. There are about six 30-minute Centering Prayer periods daily. The prayer is supported by the viewing of Fr. Thomas Keating's Spiritual Journey DVDs. Plus we will share in Lectio Divina and soul-friending with staff. Also available is the opportunity to participate daily in Lauds, Liturgy (Communion Service) and Vespers with the Trappistine Sisters in their nearby sanctuary. There will be talking at the evening meal.
The retreats take place in Sonoita, AZ, at the Santa Rita Abbey Retreat Center,* about an hour south of Tucson. This is a natural setting on high desert terrain. There are seven private rooms; one queen room can accommodate two retreatants. Each room has its own bath. The retreat menu is vegetarian.
The retreat fee is $550.00 and proof of vaccination against Covid-19 is required with no exceptions. Partial scholarships are available. If you have a need, please talk to Jeannie Lashinske when you register. The shared room will be $475.00 each.
Registration: Begins August 18, 2022
