ANAWIM MINISTRIES

Contemplative Attitudes October 22 - 26, 2025 IN-PERSON RETREAT

This is an Intensive Centering Prayer Retreat based on the work of David Frenette in his seminal book, The Path of Centering Prayer, hailed by Fr. Thomas Keating as, ‘The best, most comprehensive and most practical book on Centering Prayer.’

David Frenette is a leader and senior teacher in the Centering prayer movement, a longtime student and friend of Fr. Thomas Keating. On this silent retreat we will explore the simple contemplative attitudes common to every way of Christian contemplation, some of which include: Simplicity and Awakening, Gentleness and Effortlessness, Letting Go and Letting Be, among others.

An established practice of Centering Prayer is required to attend this retreat as we will be sitting in Centering Prayer for several hours each day.

Retreat includes on-site lodging, breakfast, lunch, and dinner
