you deepen your focus and serenity, using your body, mind and spirit to pray with

movement, music, Scripture, and guided meditation. Bring a journal for some quiet

reflection. Basic movements will be taught which can be done by anyone, regardless

of experience or physical limitation.

Intergenerational Evening ~ New Paths to God

An intergenerational evening of exploring prayer in non-traditional forms that are active and interactive. The evening begins with a General Assembly in Holy Family Hall led by Janene Ternes of Prayer in Motion.

General Assembly: Praying with Movement - Engaging our Whole Self in Prayer

Involving our whole being in prayer creates opportunities to interact with God in a new way.   Adding movement removes distractions, more fully engages us and opens us emotionally to the God who always beckons us closer. We will use every day movements, music and Scripture to lead us to a deeper connection with God. Basic movements will be taught which can be done by anyone, regardless of experience or physical limitation.

Participants will then have the opportunity to attend a smaller break out session from the following prayer forms:

Prayer with Movement - a second session will be offered for those who wish to go deeper with movement prayer. This will build on the opening session by emphasizing more personal reflection, including guided meditation and journaling.

Prayer in Color - an active, meditative playful prayer practice. Drawing is half the prayer, the other half is transporting the visual images to prayer - prayer for others, praying with scripture and praying to honor God.

Praying the Psalms - uses the Psalms to praise and reflect with emotion and voice. This module will include prayerful song, singing praises to the Lord to give thanks to his holy name.

Prayer of Imagination - a meditative, engaging way to come to deeper relationship with God. This module is a spiritual exercise of simply resting in attentive awareness of God's closeness.
