As time goes by and we’ve centered for a good while we can gradually drift from the basics into a format of our own creation. Today we’ll Center together; we’ll talk about our beautiful prayer; and we’ll think together about the basics of the Prayer that we learned when we first took the Introductory Workshop.

Come to the Prairie for a day of refreshment. Enjoy the Cosmic Trail, pray the Labyrinth, be silent or share quiet conversation. Create your own day participating in  as many or as few of the sessions as you like. We’ll look forward to seeing you there
