Designed for the Christian novice and the spiritual veteran alike, it explores the basic concepts of the Christian spiritual life, along with the biblical texts that undergird them. Participants will discover spiritual practices to sustain them on their journey – practices such as sharing faith journeys, Lectio divina (“sacred reading”), breath prayer, holy listening, daily examen (a spiritual self assessment), and simple journaling. Each weekly session consists of a brief time of centering and worship, discussion of the week’s theme, an experiential “taste test” of a specific spiritual practice, and a sending out of participants to experience the spiritual practice on their own.
