Welcoming Prayer Practice is an embodied spiritual practice of meeting God with our anxiety, fear, pain, etc. by letting go and consenting to the Indwelling Spirit. This ‘Consent on the Go’ provides a means for moving deeper into trust and intimacy with the living God. We will be following Thomas Keating’s 40-day guidebook to open to God’s presence and action in the midst of everyday life.
Together we will meet on
Thursday mornings at 10:00 – 11:30 am.
