We need to listen eagerly to words\, applying our whole being to them. This is the reason the ancient custom was to read aloud\, or at least to form the words on one’s lips\, so that the body\, too\, entered into the process. The Holy Spirit inspired those who wrote the scriptures and is also in our hearts inspiring us and teaching us how to read and listen. When these two inspirations fuse\, we really understand what scripture is saying; or at least we understand what God at this moment is saying to us through it.” (The Heart of the World by Father Thomas Keating pgs. 46-47) \n\n\n\n\nListen\, that you may have life. \n\n\n\n“Were not our hearts burning [within us] while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us?” Luke 24:32 NAB \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind God in the Silent Love of Self Surrender. \n\n\n\n“The language God best hears is silent love.” \n\n\n\n Saint John of the Cross \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContemplative Outreach St. Louis invites you to come help create a safe and quiet space where we can rest in the divine presence\, bearing witness to our individual and collective need to do so. A time of prayer\, scripture\, sharing and support for the journey. \n\n\n\nThe facilitators for this program are Sarah Legett \n\n\n\n\n\nFlow of the Day:\n\n\n\n\nWelcome! And Gathering for a half hour\n\n\n\nGuided Lectio Divina session\n\n\n\nOptional sharing\n\n\n\n15 minute break\n\n\n\nA reading of the Centering Prayer guidelines\n\n\n\n1st Centering Prayer period\n\n\n\n2nd Centering Prayer period.\n\n\n\nOpportunities for Prayer requests\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSaturday\, December 12th\, 2026Doors open and Gathering at 8:30 am\, We begin at 9 am & end at 11 am \n\n\n\n Light refreshments will be available \n\n\n\nSilent Saturday is at: Community of Christ Church\, 830 N Kirkwood Road\, Kirkwood\, MO 63122\n\n\n\nPlease register: We look forward to seeing you.

This is purely a suggestion and not meant to be a barrier to attendance. All are welcome.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are blessed to have videos presented by Father Thomas Keating on Lectio Divina\, calling us into a deeper relationship with God. Lectio Divina draws from scriptural and/or other sacred reading\, meditation\, and prayer to promote communion with God and increase the knowledge of God’s Word.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCentering Prayer and Lectio Divina with Thomas Keating\, Part 1: In this talk\, Fr. Thomas explains that Lectio Divina is meant to be an experience of scripture in which one listens for God rather than reads for content. The words penetrate one in a dynamic process under the guidance of the Holy Spirit\, gradually moving one into deeper union with God. Fr. Thomas describes the traditional four ‘moments’ of Lectio Divina in a circular format; the experience is not linear as all the ‘moments’ are interrelated. This conference was given at the Lectio Divina Institute held on January 17-21\, 1997\, at the Benedictine Center in Beech Grove\, Indiana. \n\n\n\n\n\nCentering Prayer and Lectio Divina with Thomas Keating\, Part 2: In this talk entitled “Principles for the Practice of Lectio\,” Fr. Thomas explains that Lectio is the process of assimilating the Gospel and being assimilated by it.  He describes five moments in this process: 1) Beginning prayer to the Holy Spirit as your Guide\, 2) Noticing how scripture is mirroring your life\, 3) Experiencing the Word of God as directed to different levels of consciousness\, 4) Reading your experience of grace into the scriptures\, and 5) becoming the Word of God in a particular human situation. This conference was given at the Lectio Divina Institute held on January 17-21\, 1997\, at the Benedictine Center in Beech Grove\, Indiana. \n\n\n\n\n\nFour Steps of Lectio Divina\n\n\n\nThere is no standard way of doing lectio divina\, but the following method has proven helpful to beginners. \n\n\n\n\nRead (Lectio): Read a passage from Scripture. “Listen” to God’s word. Gather the facts. Does a particular word or phrase speak to you?\n\n\n\nReflect (Meditatio): Read the passage again. Reflect on the passage as a whole or on a particular phrase. What is God saying to you?\n\n\n\nRespond (Oratio): Read the Scripture once again. Respond to God with your heart. What do you want to say to God?\n\n\n\nRest (Contemplatio*): Read the selection a final time. Rest in God’s presence for a few minutes.\n\n\n\n\n* Strictly speaking\, contemplation is a gift of grace that depends on the movement of the Holy Spirit. It is a real awareness of God\, desiring and loving Him\, beyond concepts\, feelings\, and particular acts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\nPlease register and submit the online form below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nHaving trouble registering or did not receive a confirmation email?

This gathering will also include a session of Centering Prayer\, a practice that deepens our connection to spirituality and fosters personal exploration. Additionally\, we will engage in the meditative practices of journaling and poetry\, offering an opportunity for reflections. We warmly welcome individuals at all levels of experience\, from beginners to seasoned practitioners\, to come together in this supportive community as we collectively explore our journeys.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDwight will open with a few remarks about poetry and centering prayer. We will explore a couple of poems that may enhance our sit. \n\n\n\nThen the four guidelines of Centering Prayer will be reviewed and lead into a  20 minute sit. \n\n\n\nFollowing the meditation\, we will free-write for a bit. Please bring a notebook and pen.  Next\, we will use an idea or two from our individual writing to create poems. There will be an optional sharing time for our creations.\n\n\n\nWe follow that with a poetry writing exercise\, stimulated by something from within the free write or perhaps some direction emanating from one’s sacred word. \n\n\n\nThen there will be an opportunity for participants to share what they have created.  And conclude with any questions or comments about your experience.  \n\n\n\n\nPlease bring a pen and notebook.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGathering at 1:30pm to 2:00pm – Bring a snack or refreshment to be enjoyed before or during the break of this event if able.

For a number of years he frequented open mic circles and curated several monthly poetry events. He has taken  poetry classes at the University of Iowa Summer Writing Festival. Dwight has published two chapbooks of his own poetry. He enjoys giving readings. With a jazz musician friend\, they have performed “pojazz” together. He is also a board member and past president of St. Louis Poetry Center.  \n\n\n\nDwight is a long-time member of Al-Anon. His centering prayer practice began just over five years ago. He is still practicing. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA little history on the formation of the Soul Trekkers\n\n\n\n\n\nIn 2022 following a 7 day silent retreat in Snowmass\, CO at St. Benedict’s Monastery\, Jennifer Beeman\, Heather Fricke and Susie Brent gathered with Jenny Adamson and Pat Johnson to discuss potential avenues for sharing the methods of centering prayer with the next generation. It was suggested to combine centering prayer with an activity such as yoga or art.  It was agreed upon that contemplative prayer may enhance and be enhanced by any activity that lends itself to a stillness in mind and heart\, a joy within\, and being truly present in each moment. The divine dwelling within can be communed with while hiking beneath the trees\, free flowing with a favorite melody\, exploring and creating in a favorite artistic medium\, within the deep breath taken while settling into a yoga pose\, energy breath work\, or while listening to the draw of classical piano music. These are just some avenues to become more comfortable with simply being.It is the Soul Trekkers intent to investigate the many branches of the Tree of Contemplative Practices combined with guided Centering Prayer meditation sessions to inspire exploration\, joy\, and connection in a fellowship of contemplative travelers.  While centering prayer guidelines will be offered\, any and all meditation disciplines are welcome. The goal is to embrace stillness and foster a relationship with the God within each of us and our true authentic selves. Come share in the beautiful intimacy that stillness in community has to offer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more information: Dwight Bitikofer – 314-229-9537 or cpsoultrekkers@gmail.com \n\n\n\n For any questions please email: susiebrentcostl@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration:\n\n\n\n \n\n LinkedInThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email(Required)\n \n Phone(Required)Address(Required) \n \n \n \n Street Address\n \n \n City\n \n \n State / Province / Region\n \n \n ZIP / Postal Code\n \n \n Background(Required)Please briefly share your contemplative prayer backgroundIf you are bringing guests\, please list their names below.
