Present and Whole: Prayer, Movement, and the Wisdom of Your Body
Tuesday, July 14th, 9am-4pm
We spend so much of our spiritual lives from the neck up — but what if our bodies have been trying to tell us something all along? This four-hour workshop uses breath work, gentle movement, and contemplative practice to help participants reconnect with the bodily wisdom that so often goes unheard. Through scripture, guided reflection, and silence, we’ll explore what it means to show up fully — messy, beautiful, and whole — in prayer and in community. Open to all; no yoga or meditation experience needed.
