Comment from a retreatant on the 2017 8 Day: "This was my first Centering Prayer retreat and I truly found this week to be the most important and transformational week of my life. I’ve been practicing Centering Prayer on and off for 5 years, and now I truly understand how it works and how beneficial it is for the unloading and purification of the false self. I am eternally grateful for the teachings and silence."
