"While centering prayer is done privately most of the time, a weekly sharing of the experience in a small group has proven to be very supportive, as well as a means of continuing education." – Fr. Thomas Keating

Central Iowa Chapter Events

In addition to engaging in individual and group Centering Prayer, many yearn for other experiences, reflections, and knowledge that will support them in their spiritual journey. COCI offers a variety of introductory events and programs as well as those that invite us to deepen our practices and presence.

Contemplative Outreach Logo

Contemplative Outreach of Central Iowa exists for the purpose of supporting our members in their daily practice of Centering Prayer. We are a chapter of Contemplative Outreach Ltd.

Contemplative Outreach is a community of individuals and Centering Prayer groups committed to living the contemplative dimension of the Gospel in everyday life.

There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit;
there are different forms of service but the same Lord;
there are different workings but the same God
who produces all of them in everyone.
I Corinthians 12:4-7
