What we’re about
Welcome to our North Vancouver Centering Prayer Group Meetup!
The purpose of this group is friendship, based on a common Centering Prayer practice.
Centering Prayer is a way to invite God (or the Divine) presence and action into your life, and is sometimes considered to be a form of 'Divine Therapy', as the practice allows for the 'unloading' of unhelpful things stored in the unconscious.
During the 25-minute Centering Prayer practice, you will take practice surrendering engagement with thoughts and sensations, returning to your own chosen "Sacred Word" when noticing you're engaged.

Although Centering Prayer is promoted as a Christian-based practice, the practice itself is spiritually universal.
After the Centering Prayer practice, the group will also hold space for members to personally check in, and receive support from the group, to help facilitate building friendship.
7pm to 9pm Tuesdays at a central Lonsdale location in North Vancouver.
Format:
- Opening Prayer
- 25 minutes of Centering Prayer
- Closing Prayer
- Check-in and Group Support
- (If time permits) A Group Discussion based on a Group Chosen Spiritual Book
Each Centering Prayer evening currently has the capacity for 8 people, and a $5 fee per evening will be charged to cover Meetup.com costs.
