Meditation Chapel

	Pray in silence with practitioners from all over the world. Centering Prayer groups are forming on this global video platform of online meditation groups. It's difficult to describe how profoundly connecting, expansive and intimate it is to see, hear and join in silent prayer with others from all over the world. You just have to try it.

Cloud of Unknowing

		The Cloud of Unknowing
		The Cloud of Unknowing offers unique guidance for anyone who desires intimate contact with God. In these conferences, you will explore the sources of what has come to be known as “centering prayer.” You will discover its roots in the Desert Fathers and Mothers, emergent contemplatives who labored to “put on the mind and heart of Christ.” You will trace the unfolding of the sacred science of spiritual transformation through its earliest pioneers to its ongoing development in our day. In learning the practice of “dark” contemplation, you will come to sense the ineffable mystery and hiddenness. Presented by gifted professor, author, and psalmist, Sr. Kathleen Deignan, C.N.D., these six conferences will deepen your spirituality. You will discover the teachings of one of the great classics of the Christian tradition, which has profoundly influenced classical and contemporary spirituality.

Cost:		$80 (includes the book, The Cloud of Unknowing by William Johnston)
When:		Six Thursdays, January 19 - February 23
		6:30 - 9:00 p.m.
RSVP:		Wednesday,, January 18
Registration:		You can register ONLINE
		Or, print the REGISTRATION FORM and mail it to the Center
		You can also call the Center at (303) 698-7729
Where:		Center of Contemplative Living
		3650 Yates St. Denver, CO 80212
