The Welcoming Prayer Workshop with Mary Dwyer

  • Christ United Methodist Church 410 North Holden Road Greensboro, NC, 27410 United States (map)

The Welcoming Prayer is a method of consenting to God’s presence and action in the midst of the ordinary routines of our daily lives.  To practice Welcoming allows us to make choices free of the domination of the false-self system.  We begin to respond rather than automatically react to life on life’s terms.  As the originator of Welcoming Prayer, Mary Mrozowski stated: “To welcome and to let go is one of the most radically loving, faith-filled gestures we can make in each moment of each day.  It is an open-hearted embrace of all that is in ourselves and in the world.”

Mary Dwyer has been involved with Centering Prayer and the Welcoming Prayer since the mid 1980’s.  She lived with Mary Mrozowski, the founder of the Welcoming Prayer practice, and others in the Chrysalis House in Warwick, New York where the Welcoming Prayer was first taught. Mary is a former Chairperson of The Contemplative Outreach Governing Board and served on its faculty.  She also previously served as Coordinator for the Living Flame program and on the Welcoming Prayer Service Team.
