I invite you to join me for a time of pause and reflection.
Together, we will practice twenty minutes of silent meditation. Silent meditation is a blessed opportunity to calm the mind, settle the spirit, and cultivate a sense of mindfulness. This spiritual practice emanates beyond those ten, twenty, or thirty minutes of silent focus on the breath. It alters daily living, leading to a life of peace, intention, calm, and mindful presence.
Alongside our silent meditation, we will explore a selection of books that introduce different meditation practices and perspectives, offering guidance for cultivating mindfulness, deepening self-awareness, and nurturing a more intentional connection with ourselves and the world around us.
We are currently discussing Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening by Joseph Goldstein. There is no expectation to attend every session—simply drop in and join the conversation about the chapter we are exploring that month. Please reach out to me to find out which chapter we’ll be discussing so you can read ahead of time. If time is limited, you are welcome to simply share your insights.
On the first Tuesday evening of every month, I will offer this session from 7-7:45pm at Epiphany Lutheran Church. Please RSVP ahead of time so I know who to expect.
I look forward to sharing this sacred time with you!
Warmly,
Rev. Jane
