Contemplative Practice Symposium
The Contemplative Practice Symposium is an invitation to those who have an established practice and are ready to take the next step— to become companions and facilitators that help introduce and support the practice in parish communities.
Facilitator formation is how the School for Contemplation & Discipleship tends the long life of this work: not just teaching individuals to pray, but raising up the companions who will help to keep the practice healthy and growing throughout our Diocese for years to come.
This inaugural gathering offers three distinct paths of facilitator formation, each rooted in its own tradition and taught by practitioners who have a deep well of experience and wisdom to share: Centering Prayer Facilitator Training, Labyrinth Facilitator Training, and Rooted in Stillness: Contemplative Practices for a Faithful Public Life Facilitator Training.
Clergy, we invite you to nominate individuals or pairs from your congregation who already hold an established contemplative practice in one of these pathways and may be ready to take the next step into facilitation.
