  • Course 2: Human Condition

    This six-week course will begin introducing you to Fr. Keating’s core material of the Spiritual Journey Series and the process of healing our human condition. In these videotaped lectures, he offers an evolutionary model for human development, describes the pre-rational energy centers, and introduces us to the concept of the false self with its afflictive emotions. You will learn how, through the practice of Centering Prayer, the Divine Therapist begins the process of dismantling our false self, thereby healing our emotional wounds of a lifetime.

    Course I, Basic Centering Prayer, is a prerequisite.

  • Course 6: Heartfulness

    In the Heartfulness series, Fr. Thomas Keating reminds us that we are called by God to open to a new reality that is our true Self…the image and likeness of God. The path to this true Self and all its fruits and gifts is the challenge of becoming fully human, and to become fully human is to become fully divine. This is the fullness of life itself, a life abiding in the grace and truth of Christ, while at the same time, fully being the unique person you are. Fr. Thomas calls this the journey of heartfulness, and says that Centering Prayer might be thought of as heartfulness. Centering Prayer as contemplative prayer is a reflection on the mysteries of faith that has been digested and reflected upon and expressed in acts of love until it has simplified into a movement of the will that is becoming quasi-permanent – a way of occupying the mind and transferring it to the heart os that with practice it becomes more “heartfulness” than “mindfulness”.
