Centering Prayer, a form of meditative prayer called the “prayer of the heart”, is rooted in the teachings of Jesus and of the Desert Fathers and Mothers of the early church. Through the practice of Centering Prayer we learn how to surrender to love, to abide in divine love, and to enjoy the numerous fruits of the practice: appreciation of silence and solitude, less susceptibility to stress, deeper reverence for the divine in and through nature, willingness and commitment to a life of reconciliation and peace, and longing for and realization of our full union with God, with humanity, and with all life forms on our planet. The practice of Centering Prayer encourages us to cultivate an open mind, heart, and will as we seek spiritual transformation in Christ.

Escape to our serene campground and sleep under Big Sur's towering redwoods along the Little Sur River for a transformative campout with fellow parishioners. Experience true fellowship along with campfires, marshmallow roasts, and a sandy river beach. This sanctuary offers the perfect blend of camaraderie, reflection, and outdoor adventure. Please RSVP for camping and/or the Sunday Service and picnic on the list at the back of the church or online with our parish.administrator@allsaintscarmel.org so we can inform our caretakers who to expect.          If you’d like more camaraderie, bring your tent and camping gear down Friday after 2:00 p.m. and camp through Sunday evening! If attending either, please RSVP with our parish.administrator@allsaintscarmel.org.
