Advent Embodied Prayer 2026
Thursdays Nov 26, and Dec 3, 10 & 17 from 8.30 – 9.00am (on zoom)
A gentle synthesis of mindful body awareness, movement improvisation and Christian contemplative prayer, inspired by scripture and images from nature.
The sessions are fully guided and will begin seated with the opportunity to stand and move more freely for those who wish. Participation requires only enough space to stretch out your arms around you but if you have more space that’s fine also. Guidance may be interpreted according to individual preferences and needs.
What if, rather than being an obstacle to our spiritual life (as can sometimes be assumed), our bodies can become doorways into God’s presence and help us to pray with our whole being? These embodied prayer sessions provide an opportunity to explore this amazing possibility through prayerful body awareness, and awareness of our breathing, through movement and in stillness.
All welcome! Come to enjoy an oasis of calm and reflection in the midst of the pre-Christmas busy-ness!
