Living the Contemplative Life: What gets in the way?

Led by Jill Benet via Zoom

Drawing on the work of Thomas Keating OCSO, Trappist monk and founder of the Centering Prayer movement, and the work of Rev Dr Cynthia Bourgealt, wisdom teacher and hermit, we shall consider whether there is more than meets the eye in the obstacles we encounter in our contemplative prayer practice.
