  Centering Prayer with Marianne Hebert
Centering Prayer with Marianne Hebert

Centering Prayer is a contemplative Christian meditation practice designed to deepen one's relationship with God by fostering a state of interior silence. The practice is typically done for about 20 minutes, twice a day, and is intended to create a space for encountering God’s presence beyond thoughts, emotions, and sensory experiences. We will meet on Zoom each Wednesday for Centering Prayer beginning October 2nd, 2024.
