Introduction to Spirituality:

Deepening our Learning

Become aware
of God’s presence
and action
in your life.

This final session to our Introduction to Spirituality series will review some of the tools learned for developing our awareness of our spiritual selves and our relationship with God. We will review Centering Prayer technique, Lectio Divina, Examen of Consciousness, body prayer, the Welcoming Prayer, journaling, dream work and contemplation and action.

If you will be joining us for the first time, you will gain an overview of tools for spiritual development that you can begin to explore.
If you attended all or some of the sessions, you will have an opportunity to deepen your understanding of these tools.
