SUMMARY:Praying in Flesh and Bone
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Praying in Flesh and Bone aims to widen our understanding and practice of prayer through paying attention to the physical body. \nDuring this week\, we will learn how the body accompanies us in prayer through preparation (breath work)\, setting intentions (for reflection)\, focus (centering images and gestures)\, expression (movement)\, and anticipation (gestures of invitation). \nWe will explore how attention to the body enhances our ability to pray within our faith tradition with openness to all others. In conversation and exploration\, we will attend to how the body can support prayers that invite us to: hold\, heal\, and hope. \nThe human body\, individually and in community\, will become a rich medium for connecting to God\, our inner self\, others\, and creation. \nSome mobility (e.g. ability to transition between standing and sitting) is required\, but we will offer accommodations for ranges of ability. \n  \nProgramme Leader \nMiriam Y. Perkins\, Ph.D.\, is Professor of Theology at Emmanuel Christian Seminary teaching graduate courses in residence and online. She is an ordained minister\, yoga instructor (YRT 200 & stretch coach)\, and lover of all things outdoors. She and her spouse grow and share a large neighborhood garden from their home in the United States. \n  \n  \n  \nCosts \n6 Nights: £960 per adult\, £480 concession.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Book Here” style=”custom” custom_text=”#666666″ css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fbooking-directly.com%2Fwidgets%2FZ8ayvaEvw2SsrbCpGHLzeQZxQGqxQJy163aSHXVJnHbgCb53vffml4WKihlt5%2Fproperties%2Funit-selection%3Fsearch_stay_dates%3D%257B%2522checkInDate%2522%253A%25222027-05-08%2522%252C%2522checkOutDate%2522%253A%25222027-05-14%2522%257D%26search_occupancies%3D%255B%257B%2522numberOfAdults%2522%253A2%252C%2522children%2522%253A%255B%255D%257D%255D|target:_blank|rel:nofollow” el_class=”tealbtn generalbtn”][vc_btn title=”Essential Booking Information” style=”custom” custom_text=”#666666″ css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fiona.org.uk%2Fvisit-and-stay%2Fiona-abbey-essential-booking-information-2027%2F|target:_blank” el_class=”tealoutlinebtn generalbtn rightbtn”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]
