Centering Prayer in Canberra

As Fr Thomas Keating suggests:

"While centering prayer is done privately most of the time, a regular sharing of the experience in a small group has proven to be very supportive, as well as a means of continuing education. The meeting also serves as a means of accountability. Just knowing that ones support group is meeting together is an enormous encouragement to keep going, or an invitation to return to the practice of centering prayer if circumstances such as illness, business, family problems, or urgent duties have prevented one from carrying out one's commitment to daily practice for a time.

By sharing the experience of centering prayer with others, one's own discernment of the ups and downs of the practice is sharpened. The group serves as a source of encouragement and can normally solve problems that might arise regarding the method. The collective discernment of the group tends to be well balanced."

Support and continuing education in centering prayer has been the principal reason for the groups meeting in Canberra.
