Centering Prayer Practice Group

Find your people, Find your practice. We are a place where community and contemplation meet. No more trying to be mindful alone.The Hive exists to develop creative, compassionate, and mindfully-engaged citizens in the Cincinnati region through small group classes and workshops. We have curated a collective of proven teachers, facilitators, and spiritual directors to help guide your learning in mindfulness, contemplation, art and action. We hope you'll try a class and like it enough to become a regular member. Your partnership helps make this nonprofit possible.(As a social enterprise, the Hive shares our story with photos of classes and events. If you are opposed to sharing your lovely face let is know and we'll do our best to avoid that. But by using an event ticket you agree to let The Hive share your image in photo, audio, and video.)

And the way to connect with this “Is-ness” is to just be, too."</em></em> - Fr. Thomas Keating</p><p>Centering Prayer has emerged as a pioneering development within the Christian contemplative tradition, with groups practicing regularly around the globe. A group at the Hive has convened to support each other in this practice by gathering online weekly for discussion and silent time for Centering Prayer practice. This group is convened by Chris La Rue, with hosting support from MaryBeth Ingram and Ed Ewbank.</p><p>Our time will be split between deep reading of a poem or text (inspired by the monastic practice of lectio divina) and 20 minutes of shared, silent Centering Prayer practice.</p><p>New to Centering Prayer? <strong><strong>Because this is a practice group– rather than a class– independent research into the Centering Prayer method is encouraged before attending.</strong></strong> <a href="https://www.contemplativeoutreach.org/centering-prayer-method/" title="https://www.contemplativeoutreach.org/centering-prayer-method/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click here to learn more about the practice</a>, and/or email Chris La Rue to request additional resources or ask questions: chris@cincyhive.org.</p><p>Registration is free– and drop ins are welcome!</p><p>Chris La Rue (he/him) is the Executive Director of The Hive. A graduate student in theology at Xavier University, Chris is passionate about conducting rigorous dialogue with his Christian lineage, seeking to excavate the gifts the tradition may have to offer for the common good. Public theology and the role of spirituality in modern times are his primary fields of study. Chris has been a practitioner of Centering Prayer for several years, and finds that practice groups like this are vital to maintaining a contemplative rhythm in his life.</p><p><br></p><h3>Your Zoom link will be sent with your registration confirmation.
