10am – 1pm Optional Pre-Conference:
A Contemplative Slowing Down
with Fr. Richard Rohr
In preparation for the conference, gather for a collective slowing down and opening to receive the gifts of the weekend. Fr. Richard Rohr will offer a talk on entering the Contemplative Mind. Then he will describe a few practices (Awareness Meditation, Welcoming Prayer, WalkingMeditation) and invite us to experience them. We will come back together to process and reflect on our experiences in small groups. The morning will close with a contemplative sit.
There is no additional charge to attend for conference registrants, but you must register to participate. If you have already registered, please e-mail Tara at dataentry@cacradicalgrace.org or call her at (505)242-9588, x122 to ask her to add this to your registration.

About the Conference Hosts: The Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC), located in Albuquerque,New Mexico, was founded in 1987 by Franciscan Father Richard Rohr who saw the need for a training/formation center that would allow spiritually seeking people to balance social action with contemplation, and contemplation with social action. Committed to offering a constructive message of the Gospel that crosses boundaries of religion, ethnicity, social class and gender, the CAC provides numerous programs and resources aimed at offering hope, inspiration and spiritual challenge.
