SUMMARY:Meditative Movement as a Path for Holy Listening
CATEGORIES:event
DESCRIPTION:Meditative Movement as a Path for Holy Listening Most people accept the idea that the mind can be a tool for spiritual exploration - we use the mind in meditation and prayer, and we read and ponder spiritual literature with our minds to deepen connection with the Holy. Emotions are also another mode of spiritual inquiry; think about the devotional approach of some religions as accepted practice to enhance spiritual experience. But we often don’t spend much time thinking of the spiritual access to be gained through the body and movement. In fact, in some religious traditions, the body, the “flesh,” was thought to be a barrier to more spiritual aspirations. However, our bodies are truly wonderful sources for deep and holy listening if we understand how to pay attention. Join Spiritual Director and Retreat Facilitator, Beth Wood-Roig, as she shares practices from different spiritual traditions for listening to our bodies’ innate wisdom. We will explore various forms of movement, sometimes meditative, sometimes silly, hopefully fun, and ever surprising. There will also be time and space for personal contemplation and practice, as well as group reflection and sharing. Weather permitting, you may also wish to spend some time outside at the beautiful Well property. No prior experience is needed, just basic mobility. All movements can be modified for any fitness level. Light snacks will be provided and you are also welcome to bring a snack of your choice. Please don’t hesitate! This program is limited to 10 participants. Our bodies are waiting to speak to us. Let’s listen together! DATE: Saturday, May 11, 2024 TIME: 12:00 - 5:00 PM COST: $60 LOCATION: Well for the Journey - 120 W. Seminary Ave, Lutherville-Timonium, MD 21093 FACILITATOR: Beth Wood-Roig FACILITATOR BIO: Beth’s background includes many years leading contemplative retreats, small group facilitation and spiritual companioning. She believes that we each experience the Divine in our own unique way. Her sense of the One is that of loving Presence, holding us gently through all of life, the joys, surprises, sorrows, uncertainties, worries, fears, and assurances. Her faith background is Unitarian Universalist, with Christian and Buddhist leanings, and she often finds spiritual grounding in body prayer and nature. Beth has completed certificates in Contemplative Leadership and in Spiritual Direction for Spiritual Guides, both from Oasis Ministries for Spiritual Development, based in Camp Hill, PA. She enjoys gardening, hiking, reading, body prayer and dance, and spending time with her family and two kitties.
