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 Bio: Keith Kristich helps people slow down and connect with their true self and God within.
