A Rising Tide of Oneness: Unity Consciousness for a World in Bits and Pieces: March 7, 2025 STARTING AT 9:00 a.m. ET
A day-long symposium to explore and celebrate the spiritual legacy of Fr. Thomas Keating: Trappist monk, enlightened spiritual master, founder of the Centering Prayer movement, and a pillar of contemplative inter-spiritual dialogue. The symposium will weave together teaching, practice, panel discussions, and provocative immersion sessions as we dive deeply into Fr. Thomas’s prophetic vision of Oneness as both an inner state of consciousness and an outer pathway of planetary healing.
Optional Retreat to follow, the evening of March 7 through the afternoon of March 12, co-led by Cynthia Bourgeault and David Frenette.
