Meditation & Contemplation

Coordinator Johanna Rucker follows the prayer of the World Community for Christian Meditation as a framework for the meditation experience. The group also engages in book studies and Lectio Divina. Group members bring background in Centering Prayer, transcendental meditation, dreamwork, breathing, and open heart meditation.

Understanding our Dreams
2022-05-04 10:00 - 11:00 | Zoom – link in description
Taking the time to understand our dreams can result in significant healing, clarity, and direction in life. However, interpreting dreams is not an easy task. Dreams are some of the most mysterious forces humans can experience.
Join us to consider your dreams through a Christian lens. Our class, led by instructor Kathy Hall, uses the Haden Method developed by The Rev. Bob Haden, a retired Episcopal priest and Spiritual Director.
The class opens with the reading of a meditation, and the consideration of an individual dream using the Haden Method. All participation is completely unforced, voluntary, and confidential.
