PRAYER and the CONTEMPLATIVE IMAGINATION

A Mini-Retreat by Carl McColman

Saturday, January 28

“Be still and know that I am God” is a promise from the Psalms: a promise that God may be known through stillness, silence, and contemplation. But how do we truly know God — and how does stillness truly invite us into this deeper way of knowing? Explore these questions in this featured presentation given by Carl McColman, speaker and teacher on mystical spirituality and contemplative living. This event is in-person only, and will be held on Saturday, January 28 from 9–12, in Child Hall. Tickets are $45 (or $35 for students.)

Our facilitator, Carl McColman, is the author of many books, including Eternal Heart and The Big Book of Christian Mysticism (available in the Cathedral Book Store). Based in Atlanta, he is a commissioned presenter of Centering Prayer Introductory Workshops and a popular blogger, podcaster and retreat leader.

Thursday February 9, 11 a.m.–1 p.m. or Saturday, February 11, 10 a.m.–12 p.m.

Kristen E. Vincent is author of the award-winning book, A Bead and a Prayer: A Beginner’s Guide to Protestant Prayer Beads. Join her as she shares the history, symbolism, and benefits of beads in prayer, then guides you through the process of making and using your own set of Anglican prayer beads.

Kristen has a Master of Theological Studies from Duke Divinity School and is a graduate of the two-year Academy for Spiritual Formation. She is also a spiritual director with certification as a Narrative Enneagram Practitioner.

During the workshop, each participant will follow along to make a full set of Anglican prayer beads. All necessary materials will be provided on the day of the event and are included in the $18 ticket cost.
