Episode 142: Centering Prayer with Eric Peter - Part 1

On episode 142 of the Brew Theology podcast, Janel Apps Ramsey, Ryan Miller and Mark Donato talk to Eric Peter on Centering Prayer (Part 1) and more... This tradition was handed on by the Hesychasts of the Eastern Orthodox tradition, in particular by the sixth-century Syrian monk known as Pseudo-Dionysius; Meister Eckhardt, John Ruysbroeck, and the Rhineland mystics in the Middle ages; the anonymous author of The Cloud of Unknowing in the fourteenth century; later by the Carmelite tradition exemplified by Teresa of Avila, John of the Cross, Therese of Lisieux, and Elizabeth of the Trinity; and in the last century by Thomas Merton. Although traditionally a Christian prayer practice, Centering Prayer welcomes all interested in developing or strengthening their relationship with God. Centering Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer; rather it casts a new light and depth of meaning to them. It is at the same time a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship.

Eric Peter has been studying and practicing a wide range of meditation techniques for almost 20 years. He has been a part of Contemplative Outreach for 15 years and has served as a facilitator of Centering Prayer, a volunteer in the Prison Ministry Program and as a presenter of Introductory Workshops. He has been a Benedictine Oblate since 2014 and makes his living as a bee keeper
