Noticing God in the Ordinary: A Day of Contemplative Attention

CCE Contemplative Enrichment Day
Saturday, April 10, 2027
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (ET)
Cameron Bellm

This day invites you to slow down and rediscover the sacred woven into daily life through the practice of contemplative attention, drawn from the insights of mystics, poets, and artists. Inspired by Cameron Bellm’s gentle approach, we’ll explore how simple, tender noticing can open us to God’s presence in ordinary moments. Through guided reflections, quiet practices, creative prompts, and unhurried conversation, we’ll cultivate a posture of wonder and compassion. All are warmly welcomed into this nurturing day of renewal, presence, and sacred noticing.

This program will be offered both in-person and online via Zoom. Information on how to access the program on Zoom will be sent to participants in advance.

This program will include morning and afternoon sessions of Centering Prayer.

Offering: $75, includes lunch

Scholarships are available, please contact Mike Smoolca at cce@holyfamilyretreat.org for more information.
