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.
