Link to sign up for the 2023 Centering Prayer Summit ( “Live” January 21-22). You can attend live via Zoom or watch the recordings at your leisure. I did both last year as I found the 2022 even particularly helpful for deepening my own practice and spiritual growth.  https://www.centeringprayersummit.com/referral/cps2023aff/wwHz9Xayr3cr5XG4
