Join Diana Brady and Sarah Johnson in a Guided Meditation of Centering Prayer. Centering Prayer is a simple method of meditation emphasizing interior silence, preparing us to receive the gift of contemplative prayer.

Instructors: The Rev. Diana Brady, BSN, M.Div., BCC, Director of Chaplaincy Services, The Charles L. Dostal, Jr. Endowed Chaplain, and Sarah Johnson, Senior Organization Development Specialist in Human Resources at LPCH.

About the program: As part of the 2018 Contemplation By Design Summit, Guided Meditation sessions are offered in the mornings and evenings throughout the week at locations on the main and satellite Stanford campuses. Participants are offered the opportunity to experience and learn about contemplative practices that cultivate each state of P.E.A.C.E.—Pause, Exhale, Attend mindfully, Connect with nature, yourself and others, and Express P.E.A.C.E.—Prosociality, Equanimity, Altruism, Compassion, and Ethics.

The Guided Meditation leaders share their insights and wisdom born from their own backgrounds in modern secular, neuroscience and/or spiritual traditions, including Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Centering Prayer, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism.
