Pray Without Ceasing
📅 Friday–Tuesday | October 3–7, 2025
đź“Ť Awakening Together Retreat House
La Veta, Colorado
🕊️ Facilitated by Anne Blanchard
Ramana Maharshi observed there were two primary paths to Self-Realization; the first being the path of wisdom or self-inquiry and the second being the path of devotion. In this retreat, we will take a deep dive into the second path, which has been called the way of the heart.  Participants will contemplate what it means to pray, to whom or to what do we pray, and most importantly, how to cultivate and sustain a deep and enduring regular practice of prayer. Join facilitator Anne Blanchard as she guides participants through an examination of what is required in the devotional pathway and how one’s way of being can become love: a love of Truth and God and a willingness to let go and surrender anything blocking the experience of this love.
