Stepping into the Mystery: A Journey with Centering Prayer

A 6-Week Course of Unknowing, Consent, and Transformation 6 Weekly Gatherings plus Readings In the 14th century, an anonymous English mystic wrote a radical guide to contemplative prayer: The Cloud of Unknowing. This profound yet practical classic teaches that God cannot be grasped by thoughts or feelings, but only by a naked, loving intention that dwells in the “cloud of unknowing.” This 6-week online course offers both a clear introduction for those new to Centering Prayer and a rich deepening for seasoned practitioners. Rooted firmly in Carmen Acevedo Butcher’s acclaimed modern translation of The Cloud of Unknowing, the course weaves together the timeless wisdom of the original text with the insights of three leading contemporary teachers: Thomas Keating, Cynthia Bourgeault, and David Frenette. (Participants do not need to purchase any books to participate in the course.) * 6 LIVE ZOOM GATHERINGS: Tuesdays – June 16 through July 21, 2026 – from 11:45 AM - 1:00 PM EDT * Additional readings will be posted on Thursdays and Sundays to support your practice. * If you have to miss a gathering, all meetings will be recorded and posted for you in the course home page on Wednesdays.
