Programs
Many people on the contemplative spiritual journey benefit from attending formal programs offered by the Portland chapter of Contemplative Outreach and other chapters around the country.
Below is a listing of the programs we offer. Click on the links to read a short description of each. Our newsletter contains specific information about current offerings in our chapter. Programs are open to all people on a spiritual path regardless of denomination. As our ninth Theological Principle states, “…we are united in our common search for God and our experience of Christ through Centering Prayer.”
