Special Activities
Swimming the Great Mother, Ocean of Wisdom: Diving Deeper in Contemplative Practice
Father Brendan returns to Nativity, San Rafael on September 22 from 11-5 p.m. to offer a day-retreat of teaching, contemplation, and rejuvenation. This day-long retreat is aimed at those who already have an established meditative practice and wish to dive deeper into the contemplative experience in a traditional environment of group spiritual direction and teaching. Our time together in retreat will include some short teachings, Q&A, and plenty of space for silent group and individual practice.
This retreat will pick up from Father Brendan’s June Workshop at Nativity where he presented contemplative practices in the context of ancient ascetical theology, and placed them in dialogue with contemporary socio-cultural and religious concerns in the Western world. This retreat assumes that participants have a stable, regular meditative practice and a commitment to the path of deification (theosis) or awakening, for the benefit of all beings.
Registration for this retreat requires advanced approval from the teacher. To register, please RSVP to Fr. Brendan (brendan.cmr@gmail.com) and Rev. Kirsten (nativityonthehill@gmail.com) and provide a brief description of your practice or prior meditative experience, as well as your interest in attending this retreat.
