Our popular Creating Space for Change class is in person this summer! Presenter Eric Peter shows us a series of exercise to calm our nervous system so we can engage with whatever is happening with our whole selves. Choose either July 19th or August 30th, 9 am to 12 pm, at our new location within Calvary Baptist Church, 6500 E. Girard Ave in Denver. This class teaches potentially life-changing skills and has been used to help people with PTSD. Learn more at https://www.centeringprayer.net/CreatingSpaceforChange

Snowmass Monestary in the News

A 3,700-acre property owned by St. Benedict’s Monastery is now on the market for $150 million as the religious institution faces a dwindling population of monks. Past efforts to preserve the land never came to fruition — but some local groups hope a collaboration might help.

We are extremely grateful that Cynthia Bourgeault could join us for our Fall Conference. This is the final conference that we will hold at the Center's current location on Yates Street in Denver. We feel blessed that so many of you joined us in sharing Cynthia’s perspective on Father Thomas Keating and her revelations about him from her new book, Thomas Keating: The Making of a Modern Christian Mystic.

Cynthia shared about Father Keating’s life as a Trappist monk. She explained that this was not the end of Keating's story. She expounded on Father Keating’s evolution as a spiritual thinker and mystic, and his increasing engagement with nondual spiritual practice His contributions to interspiritual dialogue. These profound final stages of Keating's spiritual journey demonstrate how one might find one’s own way as modern mystics, fundamentally at home and at peace in the universe.

The contributions of our staff and community make possible extraordinary events such as our recent Fall Conference. We all feel very blessed that so many of you could join us on Saturday, October 19, 2024.
