You are not alone!

Shame is a feeling which many of us are familiar with. On the positive side, it  enables us to be considerate towards others and to maintain appropriate social boundaries. 

Unhealthy shame, however, may be experienced as a painful sense of inadequacy, vulnerability and alienation often accompanied by feelings of worthlessness and a tendency towards self-criticism, or even self-hatred. The legacy of unhealthy shame interferes with our flourishing as people loved by God.

This course is an opportunity to engage with embodied prayer practices that provide nourishment and resources for people who struggle with shame. Praying in and through our body helps to bypass mental obstacles and negative beliefs, opening the way for the Holy Spirit to bring healing into our lives. 

We will engage with five life-giving themes: belonging, protection, blessing, delight and radiance.

“Somehow through the course, being more affirming of my own body, takes it away from just trying to think positively to overcome negative words spoken over me…..Gestures add some sort of agency and strength with the body affirming the mind and vice versa!”

“I started to do the movements in between sessions with positive effect.”
