7 days and counting until I start a 10 day centering prayer retreat at the Garrison Institute and its chronicling here on LifeSprings.The Garrison Institute is in a former Christian monastery and supports contemplative events in different religious traditions (Buddhism, Hinduism, Judism, Islam, Christianity....) Here's a photo of the room where 60 retreatents will sit in silent centering prayer for 3 hours daily. Description in earlier post below.
