Centering Prayer and Lectio Divina (Zoom)
Please email dale@journeycenter.org to receive the link.
We gather remotely each week and begin with Centering Prayer, a receptive method of silent prayer that opens us and prepares us to experience God’s presence and transforming love within us. Following this Christ-centered form of meditation, we embrace the ancient art of praying the Scriptures known as Lectio Divina. In Lectio Divina, we listen with the “ear of the heart” with the aim of nourishing and deepening our relationship with the Holy One. Both beginners and experienced practitioners will find this time supportive and deepening.

Dale WebbSpiritual DirectorDale Webb is a Spiritual Director. Prior to affiliating with the Journey Center, he served as a pastor in congregational ministries and as a spiritual care chaplain in healthcare and hospice settings. He traces his current passion for contemplative spirituality to seeds planted at seminary while in preparation for ministry. Many years later, these very same seeds would come to life through the Spiritual Direction Formation Program at the Journey Center Santa Rosa. Since completing formation training, Dale has continued in the community of spiritual directors. He offers individual and group spiritual direction, facilitates contemplative prayer groups and assists with other contemplative offerings. On a personal note, Dale is an avid reader, embraces a regular practice of centering prayer, and enjoys nearly all genres of music. He is drawn to celebrate with gratitude the beauty and wonder of creation, which could be from behind the lens of a camera, on a motorcycle ride through the vineyards, or on a quiet walk in solitude along an ocean-side cliff or on a redwood forest floor.
