Prayer Retreat: Contemplative Prayer, Examining Our Lives in Lent with Susan S. Phillips
Saturday, February 20, 9 a.m.-1 p.m. (no lunch) Cosponsored by New College Berkeley and First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley, Room G213 and Chapel at FPCB, 2407 Dana, Cost: $25 (The retreat is limited to a maximum of 25 participants.)
Enjoined to “let the Word of Christ dwell in [us] richly” (Col 3:16), how do we read that Word? For centuries Christians have done so through a prayer practice called the Examen (of conscience or consciousness). This practice allows a contemplative attention to our movement both toward and away from God, and to the Holy Spirit speaking to us. As we slow down during this Lenten season, we will pay attention to God’s presence in our lives.
Susan S. Phillips (Ph.D.) is executive director of New College Berkeley, teaches Christian spirituality at the GTU, Regent College, and other seminaries, and is a spiritual director. She is the author of Candlelight: Illuminating the Art of Spiritual Direction.
