2025 Father Thomas Keating Symposium Video Recordings

Held on March 7, 2025 at the Garrison Institute, a distinguished gathering of international spiritual teachers explored and celebrated the spiritual legacy of Father Thomas Keating: Trappist monk, enlightened spiritual master, founder of the Centering Prayer movement, and a pillar of contemplative inter-spiritual dialogue. The symposium weaves together teaching, practice, panel discussions, and provocative immersion sessions with a deep dive into Fr. Thomas’s prophetic vision of Oneness, as both an inner state of consciousness and an outer pathway of planetary healing.
