Pray and Paddle-Contemplative Activity
Pray and Paddle is a ministry of Rolling Ridge Retreat and Conference Center, on Lake Cochichewick in North Andover, MA. We’ve just announced the 2022 Pray and Paddle schedule. We are offering six events for both novice and experienced paddlers. Kayaks or canoes are available to rent or bring your own. We begin with a safety and paddling orientation and then spend a meditative time paddling on beautiful Lake Cochichewick. We offer two programming options, paddling with Lectio Divina or a Contemplative Paddle guided by a meditation mantra or Centering Prayer. The goal is to be present to our time on the water and to listen for what is going on within and around us. Our guiding verse is from Isaiah 55: 3 ‘Listen and your soul will live’. For a list of the paddling events and to register go to: prayandpaddle.org

Introductory Program
A Centering Prayer Introductory Program in five parts was recorded this summer and is available on the Contemplative Outreach YouTube channel here. It includes the Centering Prayer Workshop with presenters Keith Kristich, Patricia Clough, Adam Gordon and Irene Chang presenting Prayer as Relationship, The Method of Centering Prayer, Thoughts and the Use of the Sacred Word, and Deepening Our Relationship with God respectively. Parts 2 – 5 are four continuing sessions including Q&A, a time to pause the video for 20 minutes of Centering Prayer and a video by Fr. Thomas Keating. This Zoom-enabled program was sponsored by Contemplative Outreach and the Centering Prayer Introductory Program Service Team.
There are two new groups on Meditation Chapel especially for people new to Centering Prayer with special support for establishing a practice, i.e., learning more about Centering Prayer, Q&A, etc. They are ongoing and open to all. They are especially helpful for those who have recently attended an Introduction to Centering Prayer and are looking to join a group with others new to this prayer practice. You can find those groups in the Peace Chapel:
