WORKSHOPS

New Life Workshop – Living In The Presence

When: Saturday, October 21, 2023, 10 am – 12 pm EST
Where: Virtual Zoom Gathering
Contribution: $37
Registration: Required, Register Now

How do you make the connection between your prayer life and your active life?

How do you recognize God in your life as you are living it, at home, work, church and other activities?  

As Centering Prayer is about the conscious surrender to the Presence and action of God within the depth of the unconscious, Examen is about recognizing the movement and Presence in God in life as you are consciously living it.

A simple way of prayer that is truly life changing. Recognize your life and the movements God while you’re in the midst of the activity.  

Examen is also a way of reflecting back on the day awakening you to the reality of God and when you’re living out of your Christ-like nature or when living in your unlike Christ nature.

Included: Live Zoom Workshop Experience with teaching, prayer time, Q&A, and open discussion.
Download: Printable journal, plus brand new prayer track to keep.
Replay: Link to rewatch the workshop at your leisure.
